Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 500 m Given : length of train 1 = 200 m Speed of train 1 = 90 km/hr = 25 m/s Speed of train 2 = 108 km/hr = 30 m/s Calculations : Let the length of tunnel be x m and length of the second train be LT According to question first train takes 24 sec to pass the tunnel so, ⇒ (200 + x)/25 = 24 ⇒ x = 400 m ∵ it is given that train 2 passes the tunnel in 30 s ⇒ ( LT + x )/30 = 30 ⇒ (LT + 400)/30 = 30 ⇒ LT = 500 m ∴ The length of the second train is 500 m. |
