- If two trains (or bodies) start at the same time from points A and B towards each other and after
crossing they take a and b sec in reaching B and A respectively, then
(A's speed) : (B’s speed) = √b:√a.
hence the answer 120 km/hr - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(41) No(7)
- speed of a/speed of b=root(4)/root(9),then solving
speed of b=(80* root 9)/root 4
=120km/hr. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(4)

- Let t be the time after the departure of trains till they met.let speed of train B be x
for train A,80*t is distance travelled from starting to till it met train B
for train be distance is x*t
x*t distance is travelled by train A in 9hours
80*t is travelled by train B in 4 hours
so x*t=80*9
and 80*t=4*x
dividing equations we get
x=120,which is speed of train B - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(5)
- pintu...how did that formula come from...can you explain in detail?

- If two trains (or bodies) start at the same time from points A and B towards each other and after
crossing they take a and b sec in reaching B and A respectively, then
(A's speed) : (B’s speed) = √b:√a.
80 : X = 2 : 3
then
X = 120
hence the answer 120 km/hr

- F=32+B , if R=0 ……..(1) & M=25+S, if R=0,……….(2)
B=R+6=> B=6 if R=0……….(3) & M=F-3………(4)
S=?,if R=0
From(1) F=32+6=38, from(4) M=38-3=35
From(2) S=M-25=> S=35=25=10

- let train A runs t time befor meeting point starting from point A to B
nd train B runs t time befor meeting point starting from point B to A
and after meating A runs 9 hrs nd B runs 4 hrs
t 9
A-------------|------------>B
4 t

- ohh shit yr mera pura ans display nhi hua
t/4=9/t t^2=36, t=6
6+9= 15 4+6=10
train A distance 15*80 =1200 km
same distance covered by B
so speed of train b is 1200/10 = 120 km/hr - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
