A 270 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train.

Choose the correct answer:
A) 220
B) 260
C) 330
D) 230
Detailed Explanation

Relative speed = (120 + 80) km/hr.

                      = (200 x  5)/18   m/sec.
                      =  500/9    m/sec.

Let the length of the other train be x metres.
Then,    

(x + 270)/9 = 500/9

x + 270 = 500

x = 230.
