Answer: (a)
Using Rule 3,
Length of both trains
= 105 + 90 = 195 m.
Relative speed
= (45 + 72) = 117 kmph
= 117 × $5/18$ or $65/2$ m/sec.
Time taken = $195/{65/2}$
= ${195 × 2}/65$ = 6 seconds

Question : 1
Two men are standing on opposite ends of a bridge 1200 metres long. If they walk towards each other at the rate of 5m/minute and 10m/minute respectively, in how much time will they meet each other ?
a) 80 minutes
b) 85 minutes
c) 90 minutes
d) 60 minutes
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 6,Let 'a' metre long train is running with the speed 'x' m/s. A man is running in the opposite direction of train with the speed of 'y' m/s. Then, time taken by the train to cross the man = $(a/{(x + y)})$seconds.
Men are walking in opposite directions.
Hence, they will cover the length of bridge at their relative speed.
Required time
= $1200/{(5 + 10)}$ = 80 minutes
Question : 2
Two towns A and B are 500 km. apart. A train starts at 8 AM from A towards B at a speed of 70 km/ hr. At 10 AM, another train starts from B towards A at a speed of 110 km/hr. When will the two trains meet ?
a) 12 Noon
b) 12.30 PM
c) 1.30 PM
d) 1 PM
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let two trains meet after t hours when the train from town A leaves at 8 AM.
Distance covered in t hours at 70 kmph
+ Distance covered in (t - 2) hours at 110 kmph = 500km
70t + 110 (t - 2) = 500
70t + 110t - 220 = 500
180 t = 500 + 220 = 720
t = $720/180$ = 4 hours
Hence, the trains will meet at 12 noon.
Question : 3
Two places P and Q are 162 km apart. A train leaves P for Q and simultaneously another train leaves Q for P. They meet at the end of 6 hours. If the former train travels 8 km/hour faster than the other, then speed of train from Q is
a) 10$5/6$ km/hour
b) 9$1/2$ km/hour
c) 8$1/2$ km/hour
d) 12$5/6$ km/hour
Answer »Answer: (b)
Speed of train starting from Q = x kmph
Speed of train starting from P = (x + 8) kmph
According to the question,
PR + RQ = PQ
(x + 8) × 6 + x × 6 = 162
[Distance = Speed × Time]
6x + 48 + 6x = 162
12x = 162 - 48 = 114
x = $114/12 = 19/2 = 9{1}/2$ kmph
