Question: A man standing on a platform finds that a train takes 3 s to pass him and another train of the same length moving in the opposite direction, takes 4 s. The time taken by the trains to pass each other will be
Options:
A) $ 2\frac{3}{7}s $
B) $ 3\frac{3}{7}s $
C) $ 4\frac{3}{7}s $
D) $ 5\frac{3}{7}s $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Let the length of each train be $ xm. $ Then, speed of first train $ =\frac{x}{3}m/s $ Similarly, speed of second train $ =\frac{x}{4}m/s $
$ \therefore $ Relative speed $ =\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{4}=\frac{7x}{12}m/s $ $ Timetaken=\frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{2x}{\frac{7x}{12}}=\frac{24}{7}=3\frac{3}{7}s $
