Two trains travel in opposite directions at 40 kmph and 50 kmph and a man sitting in slower train observes the faster train pass him completely in 10 seconds The length of the faster train is:​

Answer»

AnSwer :

  • Length of the fastest train is 917m.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

GiVen :

It is provided that the trains travel in opposite directions with 40 km/h and 50 km/h respectively and a man is sitting in the slower train and he OBSERVES that the faster train passes WITHIN 10 seconds.

To Find :

  • We NEED to find the length of the faster train.

SoluTion :

As the trains travel in opposite direction here,

We need to find its relative SPEED.

So,

Relative speed=(50+40)km/hr

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀=(90+5/18)m/sec

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀=(1625/18)m/sec

Length of the fastest train :

= 1625/18 × 10

=917m(approx.)
