    A train 100 m long is moving at a speed of 50 km/hr crosses a train 120 m long coming from opposite direction in 6 seconds. The speed of second train is :

    A. 45 km/h
    B. 132 km/h
    C. 63 km/h
    D. 82 km/h

    Answer: Option D
    Explanation:
    Let the Speed of second train = x km/h
    Relative speed = (50 + x ) km/h
    Total Distance covered= (100 m + 120 m) = 220 m = 0.22 km
    Time = 6 sec = 6/ (60 x 60) hr =1/600 hr
    Now, Speed = Distance/ Time
    (50 + x ) =0.22 / (1/600)
    50 + x =132
    x = 82 km/h

    Hence, Speed of second train =x km/h = 82 km/h
