speeds of two train ratio 3:4 .they are going in opposition direction along paraell tracks. if each takes 3 sec to cross a telegraph post.find time taken by train to cross each other completely
Answers
Answer:
Here we will learn about the concept of two trains passes in the opposite direction.
When two train passes a moving object (having some length) in the opposite direction
Let length of faster train be l meters and length of slower train be m meters
Let the speed of faster train be x km/hr
Relative speed = (x + y) km/hr.
Then, time taken by the faster train to pass the slower train = (l + m) meters/(x + y) km/hr
Now we will learn to calculate when two trains running on parallel tracks (having some length) in the opposite direction.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 seconds.
Further Explanation
Accoding to the given question:-
Let 3 be the speed of one train.
Let 4 be the speed of other train.
3 + 4 => 7 be the speed of both train.
3 second is the time of both trains to cross the telegraph.
Length of one train (3 × 3)=>9
Length of other train (4 × 3) = 12
(9 + 12) => 21 is the length of both trains when crossing the telegraph.
Using formula:-
Speed = Distance/Time
Time = Distance/Speed
Let T be the time.
Therefore the time taken is 3sec.
