The ratio of length of 2 trains is 5 : 6 and the ratio of their speeds is 2: 3. Find the ratio of time taken by them to cross a pole.
A05:04
B07:04
C02:07
D05:07

correct answer is: 05:04
Explanation: The ratio of the time taken by the two trains to cross a pole is determined by the ratio of their lengths divided by their respective speeds. For the first train, the time is 52 units, and for the second train, it is 63=2 units. Simplifying the ratio 52:2 gives 5:4

  • OPTION a (05:04): Correct, as derived above.
  • OPTION b (07:04): Incorrect, as it does not match the calculated ratio.
  • OPTION c (02:07): Incorrect, as it inverses the correct ratio.
  • OPTION d (05:07): Incorrect, as it does not match the calculated ratio.
