Train A crosses train B, which is stationary, in 90 seconds. After a few minutes, train B travels at a uniform speed and crosses train C
running at twice the speed in the opposite direction, in 30 seconds. If the trains are of equal length, what is the ratio of their speeds?
Answers
Given : Train A crosses train B, which is stationary, in 90 seconds.
Train B travels at a uniform speed and crosses train C running at twice the speed in the opposite direction, in 30 seconds.
the trains are of equal length,
To Find : what is the ratio of their speeds?
Solution:
Let say length of Each train = L m
Train A crosses train B, which is stationary, in 90 seconds.
Distance covered by Train A = 2L m
Speed of Train A = 2L/90 = L/45 m/s
train B travels at a uniform speed and crosses train C
running at twice the speed in the opposite direction, in 30 seconds.
Speed of train B = B Speed of Train C = 2B
Relative speed = B + 2B = 3B
Distance Covered = 2 L m
Time 30 Sec
=> 3B = 2L/30
=> B = L/45
Speed of Train A = L/45 m/s
Speed of Train B = L/45 m/s
Speed of Train C = 2L/45 m/s
Ratio of Speeds of Train A , B & C are = 1 : 1 : 2
