Multiple choice

Two trains are moving on two parallel tracks but in opposite directions. A person sitting in the first train moving at the speed of 80 km./hr. passes the second train in 18 seconds. If the length of the second train is 1000 m, its speed is- दो समांतर पथों पर लेकिन विपरीत दिशा में दो रेलगाड़ियां चल रही हैं। पहली ट्रेन में बैठा एक व्यक्ति जिसकी चाल 80 किमी./घण्टा है दूसरी ट्रेन को 18 सेकेण्ड में पार करती है। यदि दूसरी ट्रेन की लम्बाई 1000 मी. है, इसकी चाल है-

  1. 100 km.hr./किमी./घण्टा

  2. 120 km.hr./किमी./घण्टा

  3. 140 km.hr./किमी./घण्टा

  4. 150 km.hr./किमी./घण्टा

B Correct answer
Explanation

When trains move in opposite directions, their relative speed is the sum of individual speeds. Distance covered = length of second train = 1000 m = 1 km. Time = 18 seconds = 18/3600 hours = 1/200 hours. Relative speed = Distance/Time = 1 ÷ (1/200) = 200 km/hr. Therefore, speed of second train = 200 - 80 = 120 km/hr.
