Correct Answer: 88
Solution : Let the speed of train C be $x$ km/hr. $\therefore$ Relative speed of B = $(100 - x )$ km/hr $\therefore$ Time taken to cross = $\frac{\text{Length of both trains}}{\text{Relative speed}}$ ⇒ $\frac{2}{60} = \frac{\frac{150+250}{1000}}{100-x}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{30} = \frac{2}{5(100-x)}$ ⇒ 100 – $x$ = 12 $\therefore x$ = 88 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 88.

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 train of length 100 metres crosses another train of length 150 metres, running on a parallel track in the opposite direction, in 9 seconds. If the speed of a train having a length of 150 metres is 40 km/h, then what is the speed (in km/h) of the other train?
Question : Two trains are moving in the same direction at 36 km/hr and 48 km/hr. The time taken by the faster train to cross a man sitting in the slower train is 33 seconds. What will be the length of the faster train?
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
Question : Two trains, A and B, start from stations X and Y and travel towards Y and X, respectively. After passing each other, they take 4 hours 48 minutes, and 3 hours 20 minutes respectively to reach Y and X. If train A is moving at 45 km/hr, then the speed of train B is:
