Two trains 120 m and 180 m long are running in opposite directions at 54 km/hr and 36 km/hr. How long will they take to cross each other ?

  • A.10 seconds
  • B.12 seconds
  • C.15 seconds
  • D.18 seconds

Answer: A

Correct answer: 12 seconds

Moving in opposite directions, the speeds add.

\[54 + 36 = 90 \text{ km/hr} = 90 \times \frac{5}{18} = 25 \text{ m/s}\]

They must together cover the sum of their lengths, 300 m.

\[t = \frac{300}{25} = 12 \text{ seconds}\]
