Two trains are moving in opposite directions @ 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in seconds is:
36
45
48
49
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Relative speed = (60+ 90) km/hr

   = 150 x 5 m/sec
18

   = 125 m/sec.
3

Distance covered = (1.10 + 0.9) km = 2 km = 2000 m.

Required time = 2000 x 3 sec = 48 sec.
125

Time=length/speed
required time=(2000/(125/3))
which is equal to=2000*(3/125)

Why km is converted into meter though there all information is in kilometer?

T = D/S.
T = 2km/150km/hr.

Is this is right?

Please, Tell me how to solve.

What do you mine time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train?

Why we want to multiply it by 3/125 instead of multiplying by 125/3?
