Q:

Two trains running in opposite directions cross a pole placed on the platform in 47 seconds and 31 seconds respectively. If they cross each other in 33 seconds, what is the ratio of their speeds?

A) 1:7 B) 7:1
C) 2:3 D) 3:2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1:7

Explanation:

Let the speed of the trains be x and y respectively
length of train1 = 47x
length of train2 = 31y
Relative speed= x + y
Time taken to cross each other = 33 s
=> 47x+31yx+y= 33
=> (47x + 31 y) = 33(x + y)
=> 14x = 2y
=> x/y = 2/14 = 1/7

 = 1:7

Explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangle is given by 3000/10 = 300 mts

But we know,

The Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)

Now,

2(8x + 7x) = 300

30x = 300

x = 10

Required, Area of rectangle = 8x x 7x = 56 x 100 = 5600 sq. mts.
