Two trains 121 m and 99 m in length are running in opposite directions with velocities `40 km h^(-1)` and `32 km h^(-1)`. In what time they will completely cross each other?A. 9 sB. 11 sC. 13 sD. 15 s |

Answer» Correct Answer - (b) Here, `v_A = 40 km h^(-1), v_B = -32 km h^(-1)` Length of train A, `l_A = 121` m, Length of train B, `l_b` = 99 m Relative velocity of two trains is given by `v_(AB) = v_A - v_B = 40 - (-32) = 72 km h^(-1) = 72 xx 5/18 = 20 m s^(-1)` Total distance to be travelled by each train for completely crossing the other train `= 121 + 99 = 220` m Time taken by each train to cross the other train `= 220 / 20 = 11` s Hence the two trains will cross each other in 11 s. |
