QJEEM19Ph6bd5: JEE Main 2019 Physics - Class 11 JEEM19Ph6bd5 Solution: A passenger train of length 60 m travels at a speed of 80…
A passenger train of length 60 m travels at a speed of 80 km/hr. Another freight train of length 120 m travels at a speed of 30 km/hr. The ratio of times taken by the passenger train to completely cross the freight train when : (i) they are moving in the same direction , and (ii) in the opposite direction is :

- B 32
- C 115
- D 52
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
The total distance to be travelled by the train is 60 + 120 = 180 m.
When the trains are moving in the same direction, relative velocity is
v1 – v2 = 80 – 30 = 50 km hr–1
So time taken to cross each other,
t1 =
When the trains are moving in opposite direction, relative velocity is
|v1 – (–v2 )| = 80 + 30 = 110 km hr–1
Time taken to cross each other
t2 =
=
When the trains are moving in the same direction, relative velocity is
v1 – v2 = 80 – 30 = 50 km hr–1
So time taken to cross each other,
t1 =
When the trains are moving in opposite direction, relative velocity is
|v1 – (–v2 )| = 80 + 30 = 110 km hr–1
t2 =
