Two trains 96 m and 72 m long run at the speeds of 68 km/h and 44 km/h respectively, in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time which they take to cross each other is
1). 8 s
2). 6.2 s
3). 7 s
4). 5.4 s
Two trains 96 m and 72 m long run at the speeds of 68 km/h and 44 km/h respectively, in opposite directions on parallel tracks.
As, the two trains are running in opposite direction, so the relative speed will be
= 68 + 44 = 112 km/hr.
∴ They will cross each other after = [(96 + 72)/1000]/112 = (3/2000) × 3600 = 5.4 seconds.
