Two trains running at 36 km/hr and 54 km/hr are running parallel in the opposite direction. If their lengths are 200m and 300m respectively. Then how much time will they take to cross each other?

- 20 sec
- 25 sec
- 30 sec
- 35 sec
Correct Option: A
Relative speed, when the trains are running in the opposite direction = Sum of the speed
Therefore, Relative speed = 36 km/hr +72 km/hr = 90 km/hr
Relative speed in m/sec = 90 km/hr x 5/18= 25 m/sec
Distance covered = sum of the lengths of the train = 200 m+ 300 m = 500m
Therefore, time taken = 500m / 25 m/sec = 20 sec
