Multiple choice

Two train A and B start at the same time from station P and Q respectively towords eachother. After passing each other they take 12 haurs and 3 hours fo reach Q and P respectively. If the train A moving at the speed of 60km/hr. What is the speed of the train B. दो रेलगाड़ी A तथा B क्रमशः स्टेशन P तथा Q से एक साथ एक दूसरे की तरफ चलती है। एक दूसरे को पार करने के बाद क्रमशः Q तथा P तक पहुचने में क्रमशः 12 तथा 3 घण्टे का समय लेती है। यदि रेलगाड़ी A की चाल 60 किमी./ घण्टे है तो रेलगाड़ी B की चाल क्या होगी।

B Correct answer
Explanation

Using the formula for trains crossing and continuing: Speed of A/Speed of B = √(time taken by B/time taken by A) = √(3/12) = 1/2. So Speed of B = 2 × Speed of A = 2 × 60 = 120 km/hr. Option A (180 km/hr) incorrectly uses direct ratio without square root, while C (60 km/hr) assumes equal speeds.
