Q:
      
      
         
            
Length of two trains are 150 m and 200 m respectively and the ratio (shorter: longer) of their speed is 2 : 5. If they cross each other in opposite direction in 15 second then in what time faster train will overtake the slower train.
         
       
      
      
      
          
      
      
          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: D) 35 seconds         
         
Explanation: Let speed of slower train = 2x
⇒ speed of faster train = 5x
ATQ, (150 + 200)/(2x + 5x) = 15
x = 10/3
Time required=350/[50/3–20/3]= 35 seconds
