Question : Two trains, 80 m and 120 m long, are running at the speeds of 25 km/hr and 35 km/hr, respectively in the same direction on parallel tracks. How many seconds will they take to pass each other?

Option 1: 48

Option 2: 64

Option 3: 70

Option 4: 72

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 72


Solution : Distance to be covered = 80 + 120 = 200 m
Relative speed = 35 – 25 = 10 km/hr = 10 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = $\frac{50}{18}$ m/s
$\therefore$ Time taken to pass = $\frac{\text{Sum of the length of the trains}}{\text{Relative Speed}}=\frac{200}{\frac{50}{18}}$ = 72 seconds
