  1. A train 100 meter long moving at a speed of 50 kmph crosses a train 120 meters long coming from opposite direction in 6 seconds. The speed of second train is ?
    1. 132 kmph
    2. 82 kmph
    3. 60 kmph
    4. 50 kmph
Correct Option: B

Let the speed of the second train be y km/hr
Relative speed of both trains = (50 + y) km/hr
Total distance traveled = 100 + 120 = 220 meters = 0.22 km
Time = 6 sec = 6/( 60 x 60) hr.

Speed = distance/time
⇒ 50 + y = (0.22 x 60 x 60)/ 6
⇒ 50 + y = 132
∴ y = 82

∴ Speed of the second train = 82 km/hr
