Q:

A 270 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train ?

A) 230 m B) 240 m
C) 260 m D) 320 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 230 m

Explanation:

Relative speed = (120 + 80) km/hr


=(200*5/18)m/s = (500/9)m/s

 

Let the length of the other train be x metres.

 

Then, x+270/9 = 500/9 

 

=>  x + 270 = 500

 

=>  x = 230.
