Correct Answer: 60
Solution : Given: Length of 1st train = 100 m Length of 2nd train = 150 m Speed of 2nd train = 40 km/h Formula used: Time taken to cross the train = $\frac{\text{Sum of length of trains}}{\text{Their relative speed}}$ Calculation: The relative speed = $\frac{100+150}{9} = \frac{250}{9}$m/s $= \frac{250 \times 18}{9 \times 5} = 100$ km/h When two trains are running in opposite directions their relative speed is the sum of their speed. ⇒ 100 = 40 + Speed of other train $\therefore$ Speed of other train $= 100 - 40 = 60$ km/h Hence, the correct answer is 60 km/h.

Question : A train running at 70 km/hr crosses another train running in the same direction at 34 km/hr in 25 seconds. What is the combined length of both trains (in metres)?
Question : A 110 metres long train is running at a speed of 60 km/h. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 km/h in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?
Question : The time taken for a train of length 110 metres running at a speed of 72 km/h to cross a bridge of length 132 metres is:
Question : Train B, speeding at 100 km/hr, crosses another train C, running in the same direction, in 2 minutes. If the lengths of trains B and C are 150 metres and 250 metres, respectively, what is the speed of train C (in km/h)?
Question : Train A running at 81 km/hr takes 72 sec to overtake train B, when both the trains are running in the same direction, but it takes 36 sec to cross each other if the trains are running in the opposite direction. If the length of train B is 600 metres, then find the length of
