Question : Train B, speeding at 100 km/hr, crosses another train C, running in the same direction, in 2 minutes. If the lengths of trains B and C are 150 metres and 250 metres, respectively, what is the speed of train C (in km/h)?

Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 88

Solution : Let the speed of train C be $x$ km/hr.
$ herefore$ Relative speed of B = $(100 - x )$ km/hr
$ herefore$ Time taken to cross = $\frac{ ext{Length of both trains}}{ ext{Relative speed}}$
⇒ $\frac{2}{60} = \frac{\frac{150+250}{1000}}{100-x}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{30} = \frac{2}{5(100-x)}$
⇒ 100 – $x$ = 12
$ herefore x$ = 88 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 88.
