Question

Two trains one of length 100 m and another of length 125 m, are moving in mutually opposite directions along parallel lines, meet each other, each with speed 10 m/s. If their accelerations are 0.3 m/s2 and 0.2 m/s2 respectively, then the time they take to pass each other will be

Solution

The correct option is B 10 s
Relative velocity of one train w.r.t. other
u=10+10=20 m/s.

Relative acceleration a=0.3+0.2=0.5 m/s2

If trains cross each other, then from s=ut+12at2
as, s=s1+s2=100+125=225 m

225=20t+12×0.5×t20.5t2+40t450=0

t=40±1600+4×(0.5)×4501=40±50

t=10 sec (Taking +ve value).

Hence, option (B) is the right choice.
