Two trains 121 m long and 99 m long are running in opposite direction, first at 40 km/h and the second at 32 km/h. In what time will they completely clear off each other from the moment they meet?
Correct Answer: 11 s
Explanation:
Total distance to be traveled = 121 + 99 = 220 m
Relative speed = Sum of speeds = 72 km/h
= 72 x (5/18) = 20 m/s
∴ Required time = 220/20 = 11s
