Question

Two trains 140 m and 160 m long run at the speed fo 60 k/hr and 40 km/hr respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time (in seconds) which they take to cross each other, is:

Options:
A .  7 sec
B .  8.6 sec
C .  10.8 sec
D .  11 sec
E .  None of these
Answer: Option C
 -    Relative speed = (60 + 40) km/hr = [100 x 5/18] m/sec
  = [250/9] m/sec.
  Distance covered in crossing each other = (140 + 160) m = 300 m.
  Required time = [300 x 9/250] sec = 54/5 sec
  = 10.8 sec.
