A moving train, 66 metres long, overtakes another train of 88 metres long, moving in the same direction in 0.168 minutes. If the second train is moving at 30 km/hr, at what speed is the first train moving ?
-
- 85 km/hr.
- 50 km/hr.
- 55 km/hr.
- 25 km/hr.
Correct Option: A
Suppose the speed of first train be x kmph
Speed of second train = 30 kmph
= | = 500 m per min. | |
60 |
∴ According to question
Relative speed |
= | = 0.168 | |
x − 500 |
⇒ | = 0.168 | |
x − 500 |
⇒ 0.168x – 84 = 154
⇒ 0.168x = 238
⇒ x = | |
0.168 |
= | m per minute | |||
168 |
= | × | kmph | ||
168 | 50 |
= 85 kmph
