Problems on Trains - Data Intensity 1 Questions and Answers Discussion Page.

3.	Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds is?
	A.	1 : 3
	B.	3 : 2
	C.	3 : 4
	D.	None of Above

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively.

Then, length of the first train = 27x metres,

and length of the second train = 17y metres.

	27x + 17y	= 23
	x+ y

27x + 17y = 23x + 23y

4x = 6y

	x	=	3	.
	y		2
