Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds
and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds
is:
A
1:3
.
B.3 : 2
C.3 : 4
D
None of these
.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively.
Then, length of the first train = 27x metres,
and length of the second train = 17y metres.
27x + 17y
x+ y
