Two trains of length 512 m and 528 m are running towards each other on parallel lines at 84 km/h and 60 km/h, respectively. In what time, will they be clear of each other from he moment they meet?
Correct Answer: 26 s
Explanation:
Relative speed = (84 + 60) km/h
= 144 km/h = 144 x (5/18) m/s
= 8 x 5 = 40 m/s Distance covered in passing each other
= 512 + 528 = 1040 m ∴ Required time = 1040/40 = 26 s
