Question : Two trains are moving in opposite directions at speeds of 43 km/h and 51 km/h, respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross a man sitting in the faster train is 9 seconds. What is the length (in metres) of the slower train?
Option 1: 235
Option 2: 338.4
Option 3: 470
Option 4: 940
Correct Answer: 235
Solution :
Given:
The speed of two trains = 43 km/h and 51 km/h
They are moving in opposite directions.
⇒ Relative speed = (43 + 51) km/h = 94 km/h
⇒ Relative speed in metre/second
⇒ Distance covered by the train in 9 seconds
Since this is the distance covered in crossing the man.
So, the length of the slower train is 235 metres.
Hence, the correct answer is 235.
