A passenger train and a goods train are running in the same direction on parallel railway tracks. If the passenger train now takes three times as long to pass the goods train, as when they are running in opposite directions, then what is the ratio of the speed of the passenger train to that of the goods train ? (Assume that the trains nm at uniform speeds)

A passenger train takes one hour less for a journey of 150km if its speed is increased by 5km/hr from its usual speed.Find the usual speed of the train.

The distance between two railway stations is 1176 km. To cover this distance, an express train 5 hours less than a passenger train while the average speed of the passenger train is 70 km/h less than that of the express train. The time taken by the passenger train to complete the travel is: दो रेलवे स्टेशनों के बीच की दूरी 1176 किमी है। इस दूरी को तय करने के लिए, एक एक्सप्रेस ट्रेन यात्री ट्रेन की तुलना में 5 घंटे कम लेती है जबकि यात्री ट्रेन की औसत चाल एक्सप्रेस ट्रेन की औसत चाल की तुलना में 70 किमी/घंटा कम है। यात्रा को पूर्ण करने में यात्री ट्रेन द्वारा लिया गया समय कितना है ?

A passenger train is moving at 5 ms ^ ( -1 ) . An express train is travelling at 30 ms ^ ( -1 ) , on the same track and rear side of the passenger train at some distance. The driver in express train at some distance. The driver in express train applied brakes in 4 ms ^ ( -2 ) , the time in which the accident is avoided after the application of brakes is

An express train takes 1 hour less than a passenger train to travel 132 km between Mysore and Bangalore (without taking into consideration the time they stop at intermediate stations). If the average speed of the express train is 11km h more than that of the passenger train, find the average speed of the two trains.

Two stations A and B are 100km apart. A passenger train crosses station A travelling at a speed of 50 km//hr . The train maintains constant speed for 1 hour 48 minute and then the driven applies brakes to stop the train at station B in next 6 minute. Another express train starts from station B at the time the passenger train was crossing station A. The driver of the express train runs the train with uniform acceleration to attain a peak speed v_(0) . Immediately after the train attains the peak speed v_(0) , he applies breaks which cause the train to stop at station A at the same time the passenger train stops at B. Brakes in both the trains cause uniform retardation of same magnitude. Find the travel time of two trains and v_(0) .

Two trains were travelling towards each 4 other at 144km/h .A passenger in one train observed that it took 4 seconds for the other train to pass him.How long is the other train?
