Q:

The ratio of the speed of Two trains is 5:8. Sum of their length is 660. The ratio of time taken to cross an Electric Pole by train A and B is 4:3. What is the difference between the length of two trains?

A) 50m B) 40m
C) 60m D) 45m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 60m

Explanation:

Ans.
Given that length of first train + length of second train = 660
Speed of first train : Speed of second train = 5:8 =5x : 8x
Time taken to cross the poll by two trains = 4:3 =4y:3y
Now ,
(5x*4y) + (8x*3y) = 660
44xy = 660
xy = 15
L1 - L2 = 24xy -20xy = 4xy = 60 m
