A 270 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the length of bridge is X [as always we do :)]
Speed of train is = 45*(5/18) m/sec = 25/2 m/sec
Time = 30 seconds

Total distance = 130+x
We know Speed = distance/time
so,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{130+x}{30} = \frac{25}{2} \\
=> 2(130+x) = 750 \\
x = 245 \text{ meters}
\end{aligned}

So length of the bridge is 245 meters

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

From the given question,
we will first calculate the speed of train relative to man,
=> ( 60 + 6 ) = 66 km/hr ( we added 6 because man is running opposite )
Convert it in metre/second
\begin{aligned}
= 66 \times\frac{5}{18} \\
= \frac{55}{3} m/sec\\
\text{Time it will take to pass man }\\
= 110 \times \frac{3}{55} \\
= 6 \text{ seconds}
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Speed = 45 Km/hr = 45*(5/18) m/sec
= 25/2 m/sec
Total distance = 360+140 = 500 meter

Time = Distance/speed
\begin{aligned}
= 500*\frac{2}{25} = 40 seconds
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively.

Then, length of the first train = 27x metres,
Length of the second train = 17y metres.
[because distance = speed*time]

\begin{aligned}
\frac{27x+17y}{x+y} = 23 \\
=> 27x + 17y = 23x + 23y \\
=> 4x = 6y \\
=> \frac{x}{y} = \frac{6}{4}
\end{aligned}
So ratio of the speeds of train is 3:2

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let length of tunnel is x meter
Distance = 800+x meter
Time = 1 minute = 60 seconds

Speed = 78 km/hr = 78*5/18 m/s = 65/3 m/s

Distance = Speed*Time
\begin{aligned}
=> 800+x = \frac{65}{3}*60 \\
=> 800+x = 20*65 = 1300 \\
=> x = 1300 - 800 = 500 \\
\end{aligned}

So the length of the tunnel is 500 meters.

[If you want to calculate it practically, then please have your copy and pen and take a ride of Kalka to Shimla toy train in north India. It has many tunnels on the way :) ]
