Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 36 km/hr and 26 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 sec. The length of each train is ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let the length of each train be x mts. Then, distance covered = 2x mts. Relative speed = 36 - 26 = 10 km/hr. = 10 x 5/18 = 25/9 m/sec. 2x/36 = 25/9 => x = 50 mts.
