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?

Answer Posted / rayz

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!
