Note: If direction is given in the opposite direction then we add both speeds.


Example #1 – Train Running Opposite Direction

180 meter and 120 meter mail train are running parallel in the opposite direction at the speed of 67 km/hr and 77 km/hr respectively. Find how long they take to cross each other?

  1. 13 / 2 Seconds
  2. 15 / 2 Seconds
  3. 17 / 3 Seconds
  4. 19 / 3 Seconds

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
Speed = Distance / Time
( 67 + 77 ) x 5 / 18 = 180 + 120 / Time
Time = 15 / 2 seconds.

Example #2 – Train Running Opposite Direction

170 meter and 130 meter long two super fast train are running in opposite direction at the speed of 52 km/hr and 56 km/hr respectively. In what time would be they cross each other?

  1. 10 Seconds
  2. 12 Seconds
  3. 14 Seconds
  4. 16 Seconds

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
Convert speed km/hr to m/sec.
( 52 + 56 ) x 5 / 18
= 108 x 5 / 18
= 30 m/sec.

Time = Distance / Speed
=170 + 130 / 30
=300 / 30.
=10 sec.

So, they cross each other after 10 seconds.

Example #3 – Train Running Opposite Direction

A passenger train of 330 meter long, running at a speed of 60 km/hr. In what time will it pass a man who is running at a speed of 6 km/hr in the opposite direction.

  1. 15 Seconds
  2. 18 Seconds
  3. 22 Seconds
  4. 25 Seconds

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
If direction is given in the opposite direction then we add both the speed.
( 60 + 6 )
= 66 km/hr.

Now, convert it into m/sec.
66 x 5 / 18
= 55 / 3 m/sec.

The total distance covered by the train at 55 / 3 m/sec speed is 330 meter.
So, the required time is,
330 x 3 / 55
= 18 sec.

Example #4 – Train Running Opposite Direction

Two super fast train 180 meters and 180 meters in length respectively are running in the opposite directions. One at the speed of 58 km/hr and the other at the speed of 50 km/hr. What time will they take to completely clear each other from the moment they meet?

  1. 10 Seconds
  2. 12 Seconds
  3. 15 Seconds
  4. 18 Seconds

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
Two fast trains are running is opposite direction and their relative speed is,
58 + 50
= 108 km/hr.

So, the two trains are each other meet at 108 km/hr.
108 x 5 / 18
= 30 m/sec.

So, the required time is,
Total length / Relative speed
= 180 + 180 / 30
= 12 sec.

    If two trains moving in opposite directions at the speed of 80 kmph and X kmph reach their destinations in 72 min and 32 min after they pass each other find X

    • Rajdeep Chatterjee says:

      I am not very sure, but since speed is inveresely proportional to itme so

      s1/s2 = t2/t1

      whhich gives
      80/x = 32/72

      x= 180kmph

      @sai charan please let me know if it is correct
