Wind is blowing west to east along twoparallelracs. Two trais moving with the same speed in opposite directions on these tracks have the steam tracks. If one stream track isdouble than the other, what is the speed of each train ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`3v`

If `V` is the velocity of each train, then for the train moving opposite to the wind steam track will be given by `d_(1) = (V - v) t` while for the other `d_(2) = (V + v)t`. Now as `d_(2) = 2d_(1)` (given), `(V + v) t = 2 (V - v) t`, i.e., `V = 3v`
