Two trains 140 m and 160 m long run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time (in seconds) which they take to cross each other, is: A. 10.8 B. 10 C. 9.6 D. 9 Answer Workspace Report Discuss Answer with explanation Answer: Option A Explanation Relative speed = (60 + 40) km/hr =[ 100 x ( 5 / 18 ) ]m/sec = ( 250 /9 ) m/sec. Distance covered in crossing each other = (140 + 160) m = 300 m. Required time = [ 300 x ( 9/250 ) ] sec = ( 54/ 5 )sec = 10.8 sec. Workspace
