    Two trains of lengths 100 m and 150 m are travelling in opposite directions at speeds of 75 km/h and 50 km/h respectively. What is the time taken by them to cross each other?

    A) 7.4 s                            

    B) 7.2 s

    C) 7 s                               

    D) 6.8 s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Relative speed \[=75+50=\frac{125\times 5}{18}\text{m/s}\] and total covered distance \[=100\,m+150\,m\]                                       \[=250\,m\] \[\therefore \] Time taken to cross each other             \[\text{=}\frac{\text{Total covered distance}}{\text{Relative speed}}\]             \[=\frac{250\times 18}{125\times 5}=7.2\,s\]
