Let the speed of the faster train be 'X' kmph,
Then their relative speed= X - 48 kmph
To cross slower train by faster train,
Distance need to be cover = (400 + 600)m = 1 km. and
Time required = 180 sec = 180/3600 hr = 1/20 hr.
Time = Distance/Speed
=> 1/20 = 1/(x-48)
X = 68 kmph

A) 2010 B) 2011
C) 2012 D) 2013
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2011

Explanation:

Suppose commodity X wil cost 40 paise more than Y after Z  years. Then,

        (4.20 + 0.40Z) - (6.30 + 0.15Z) = 0.40

=>  0.25Z = 0.40 + 2.10  => Z= 2.50/0.25 = 10

Therefore, X will cost 40 paise more than Y 10  years after 2001 . i.e in 2011
