We know that Circumference of a circle = 2πr = 44r = 22π

Now given the height of a cylinder h = 15 cm

Volume of a cylinder V = πr2h = π22π215 = 22 x 22 x 153.14 = 2311 cm3.

Two trains 85 m and 75 m long are running in same direction with speeds of 62 km/hr and 44 km/hr respectively. In what time will the first train cross the second train ?

A) 22 sec B) 32 sec
C) 42 sec D) 52 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 32 sec

Explanation:

Given that,

1st train speed = 62 km/hr 

2nd train speed  = 44 km/hr

Hence the relative speed of two trains is : 62-44 = 18 km/hr = 18×518 m/s = 5 m/s.

There fore, the first train crosses the second train i.e (85+75)mts of distance with a speed of 5m/s in, 

 

timedistancespeed = 85+755 = 32 sec.
