Two trains of the same length are running on parallel tracks in the same direction at 44 km/h and 32 km/h. The faster train passes the other train in 72 seconds. What is the length (in m) of each train?
A.100
B.135
C.75
D.120✓ Correct
Explanation
Relative speed = 44−32 = 12 km/h = 12×(5/18) = 10/3 m/s. Distance covered = 2l = (10/3)×72 = 240 m. So each train's length = 120 m.
