Train A and B are moving towards each other on the same track with velocities 40 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectivley. A sparrow which can fly at 30 km/hr flies off from train A when the train are 30 km apart. The sparrow directly moves towards the train 'B' and on reaching there flies back to 'A' and so on. Distance travelled by the sparrow till the two trains will hit is:

60 km

45 km

30 km

15 km

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Time `= (30)/(40 + 20) = (1)/(2)` hour
Hence, distance travelled by sparrow
`d = (1)/(2) XX 30 = 15 KM`

Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h flies off the front of on train when they are 60km apart and heads directly to the other train. On reaching the train, the bird flies back to the first train. What is the total distance the bird travels before the train collide?

Two trains, each with a speed of 50 kmph are headed towards each other on the same trake. A bird that can fly at the rate of 100kmph flies off one train when they are 100km apart and heads directly to the other train. On reaching the other train it flies back to the first train and so forth. (a) How many trips can the bird make from one train to the other before they crash ? (b) How is the total distance the bird travels ?

Two trains A and B , 100km apart are travelling towards each other on different tracks with same starting speed of 50km//h . The train A accelerates at 20km//h^(2) and the train B retards at the rate 20km//h^(2) . The distance covered by the train A when they cross each other is

Two trains start simultaneously from two stations Howrah and Bandra, respectively towards each other on the same track. The distance between the two stations is 560 km and the speed of trains are 30 and 40 km/h. Simultaneously with the trains, a sparrow sitting on the top of one of the train starts towards the other and reverses its direction on reaching the other train and so on. If the speed of sparrow is 80 km/h then the distance that the sparror flies before being crushed between the train is :

Two trains are approaching each other on the same track with velocity 100 km/h and 50 km/h. When they are at a distance of 300 km from each other, a bird starts flying from train 1 towards train 2. When the bird reaches train 2, it instantly reverses its direction and flies again towards train 1. This process continues till the bird is trapped between the trains when they collide. If the bird always travels at a constant speed 200 km/h, the total distance the bird flies is:
