Two trains 137 meters and 163 meters in length are running towards each other on parallel lines, one at the rate of 42 kmph and another at 48 kmph. In what time will they be clear of each other from the moment they meet?

Choose the correct answer:

A) 12 sec

B) 32 sec

C) 22 sec

D) 13 sec

Detailed Explanation

Relative speed of the trains = (42 + 48) kmph = 90 kmph

= (90*5/18) m / sec = 25 m /sec.

Time taken by the trains to’ pass each other

= Time taken to cover (137 + 163)m at 25m/sec =(300/25)sec =12 sec
