  1. Two trains, each of length 125 metre, are running in parallel tracks in opposite directions. One train is running at a speed 65 km/hour and they cross each other in 6 seconds. The speed of the other train is
    1. 75 km/hour
    2. 85 km/hour
    3. 95 km/hour
    4. 105 km/hour
Correct Option: B

Total length of both trains = 250 metres
Let speed of second train =x kmph
Relative speed = (65 + x) kmph

= (65 + x) ×
5
m/sec
18

∴ Time =
Sum of length of trains
Relative Speed

⇒ 6 =
250
(65 + x) ×
5
18

⇒  6 ×
5
× (65 + x) = 250
18

⇒  65 + x =
250 × 3
5

⇒  65 + x = 150
⇒  x = 150 – 65 = 85 kmph
