324. What is the length of a running train P crossing another running train Q? I. These two trains take 18 seconds to cross each other. II. These trains are running in opposite directions. III. The length of train Q is 180 metres.
  1. A. I only
  2. B. II only
  3. C. III only
  4. D. Even with I, II and III, the answer cannot be obtained.
Answer: Even with I, II and III, the answer cannot be obtained.
Explanation: Let the length of train P be x metres. II. These trains are running in opposite directions. III. Length of train Q is 180 m. I. Time taken by P to cross Q = (180 ) + Relative speed x + ⇒= (180 ) 18 . Relative speed x Thus, even with I, II and III, the answer cannot be obtained. ∴ Correct answer is (e).

325. How much time will the train A take to cross an-other train B running in opposite direction? I. Train A crosses a signal pole in 6 seconds. II. Ratio of the speeds of trains A and B is 3 : 2. III. Length of the two trains together is 500 metres.
  1. A. I only
  2. B. II only
  3. C. III only
  4. D. Question cannot be answered even with the information in all the three statements.
Answer: Question cannot be answered even with the information in all the three statements.
Explanation: II. Let the speeds of A and B be 3x m/sec and 2x m/sec. I. Length of train A = (3x × 6) m = 18x metres. III. Length of train B = (500 – 18x) m. Relative speed = (3x + 2x) m/sec = 5x m/sec. Time taken A to cross B = Sum of their lengths 500 sec. Relative speed 5x = Thus, even with the information in all the three statements, question cannot be answered. ∴ Correct answer is (e).

335. What is the relative speed of two trains with respect to each other? (JMET, 2007) Y I. The speed of the first train is 120% more than the speed of the second train. II. The speed of the second train is 80 km/hr.
  1. A. If the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
  2. B. If the data in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
  3. C. If the data either in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
  4. D. If the data given in both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Answer: If the data given in both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Explanation: Speed of second train = 80 km/hr. Speed of first train = (80 + 120% of 80) km/hr = 176 km/ hr. I and II give us the speeds of both the trains but to find the relative speed, we need to know whether the trains are moving in same or opposite directions, which is not given. Thus, even both I and II together do not give the answer. ∴ The correct answer is (d).

Answer: 42 m/sec
Explanation: Let the speeds of the faster and slower trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively. Then, 240 60 xy – = ⇔ x – y = 4 ...(i) And, 240 3 xy = + ⇔ x + y = 80 ...(ii) Adding (i) and (ii), we get: 2x = 84 or x = 42. Putting x = 42 in (i), we get: y = 38. Hence, speed of faster train = 42 m/sec.

362. Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man on a platform in 27 and 17 seconds and cross each other in 23 seconds. What is the ratio of their speeds?
  1. A. 1 : 3 / 1: 3
  2. B. 3 : 2 / 3: 2
  3. C. 3 : 4 / 3: 4
  4. D. None of these
Answer: 3 : 2 / 3: 2
Explanation: Let the speed of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively. Then, length of the first train = 27x metres, and length of the second train = 17y metres. ∴ 27 17 xy xy + + = 23 ⇔ 27x + 17y = 23x + 23y ⇔ 4x = 6y ⇔ 3 . 2 x y =
