Two trains 100 meters and 120 meters long are running in the same direction at speeds of 72 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. In how much time will the faster train cross the slower train completely? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two trains 100 meters and 120 meters long are running in the same direction at speeds of 72 km/h and 54 km/h respectively. In how much time will the faster train cross the slower train completely?
A. 44 seconds
B. 36 seconds
C. 48 seconds
D. 40 seconds
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 100 + 120 = 220 meters. Relative speed = 72 - 54 = 18 km/h = 5 m/s. Time taken = 220 / 5 = 44 seconds.

Question #3
A train traveling at 60 km/h crosses a static tunnel in 18 seconds. If the length of the train is 120 meters, find the length of the tunnel.
A. 180 meters
B. 220 meters
C. 200 meters
D. 160 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of train = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Total distance covered in 18 seconds = (50/3) * 18 = 300 meters. Length of tunnel = 300 - 120 = 180 meters.
