  1. A train ‘B’ speeding with 100 kmph crosses another train C, running in the same direction, in 2 minutes. If the length of the train B and C be 150 metre and 250 metre respectively, what is the speed of the train C (in kmph)?
    1. 75
    2. 88
    3. 95
    4. 110
Correct Option: B

Let the speed of train C be x kmph.
∴  Relative speed of B
= (100 – x ) kmph.

∴  Time taken in crossing =
Length of both trains
Relative speed

⇒  (2/60) =
150 + 250
1000
100 − x

⇒ 
1
=
2
305(100 − x)

⇒ 
1
=
2
6100 − x

⇒  100 – x = 12
⇒  x = 100 – 12 = 88 kmph.
