Two trains at speed 60 km/hr comes in the opposite
direction. At a particular time the distance between the
two trains is 18km. A shuttle flies between the trains at
the speed of 80 km/hr. At the time the two trains crashes
what is the distance traveled by shuttle?

Eh lads??
The two trains are 18km apart. Now we know both are
travelling at 60kmph so therefore they have a relative
speed of 120kmph...ie: they close on each other at 120kmph.
So as t=d/s
=18/120
= 0.15 hours
To get this in minutes....0.15x 0.6= 9 mins
So the question is how far can the shuttle go in 9 mins at
80kmph??
Well....d=s.t
=80x0.15
=12km.
So the answer is 12km.....the lads who said 12km were right
and the rest are incorrect.
So its worked out for ye in simple terms here!

Answer / naveen prasad
60km/hr ie. 1 KM=1 Min
80km/hr ie. 1.33Km=1 min
18 km distance means 18 Mins of trains and 9 mins of one
side train.
shuttle has 9 mins to fly.
distance =time*speed
t=9 mins
s=1.33km/s
So, 9 * 1.33 =11.97
Approxymately 12km.

Answer / sabarish
distance travelled by bird = speed of bird * time taken
= 80 * ( 18 / 60 ) = 12 km

Answer / md.mehtab
i think
speed of train=60km/hr
distence=18km
time 1hr=60 min
final speed after crashes of two trains is=80
speed of shuttleis =bird flies speed*time
= (80*18/7)
=12km

Answer / rudhra murthy s.
60km/hr ie. 1 KM will take to cross 1 Min
80km/hr ir. 1.33 Kms will take to cross 1 min
18 km distance means 18 Mins gone after the Shuttle crossed.
So, 18 * 1.33 = 23.94 km
Therefore, The Shuttle crossed "23.94 km" when the trains
crashed.
