- Two stations A and B are 110 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from A at 8 am and travels towards B at 40 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 10 am and travels towards A at 50 km/hr. At what time will they meet.
- A train 105 meter long moving at a speed of 54 km/hr crosses another train in 6 seconds. Then which of the following is true:
2. Trains are moving in the opposite direction.
3. Trains are not moving.
- Two trains of the same length but with different speeds pass a static pole in 4 seconds and 5 seconds respectively. In what time will they cross each other when they are moving in
2. The opposite direction
- Two trains of the same speed but with different lengths pass a static pole in 4 seconds and 5 seconds respectively. In what time will they cross each other when they are moving in
2. The opposite direction
- Two trains of length 100m and 80 m respectively run on parallel lines of rails. When running in the same direction, the faster train passes the slower one in 18 seconds, but when they are moving in opposite direction, they pass each other in 9 seconds. Find the speed of each train.
- A train overtakes two persons who are walking in the same direction as the train is moving at the rate of 2 km/hr and 4 km/hr and passes them completely in 9 and 10 seconds respectively. Find the speed and direction of the train.
- A train passes two persons who are walking in the direction opposite to which the train is moving, at the rate of 5 m/s and 10 m/s in 6 sec and 5 sec respectively. Find the length and speed of the trains.
- A train passes a pole in 15 seconds and passes a platform 100m long in 25 seconds. Find its length
- A train 100 m long passes a pole in 10 seconds and another train of the same length travelling in opposite direction in 8 seconds. Find the speed of the second train.
