fast the other, then the speed of the
faster train is……?
10) 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. Find time taken by the
slower train to cross the faster train.

72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long
platform in 26 seconds. What is the
length of the goods train?
12) A jogger running at 9 km/ph

long train running at 45 km/ph in the
same direction. In how much time will
the train pass the jogger?
13) Two trains 140 m and 160 m long
run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40
km/hr respectively in opposite
directions on parallel tracks. Find the
time (in seconds) which they take to
cross each other.

mph enters a tunnel 3 km long. The
train is 200 m long. How long does it
take for the train to pass through the
tunnel from the moment the front
enters to the moment the rear
emerges ?

at a speed of 78 km/hr. If it crosses a
tunnel in 1 minute, then the length of
the tunnel (in meters) is ….?
