The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and perform the necessary calculations. ### Step 1: Understand the problem We have two trains, Train X and Train Y, moving in opposite directions. The lengths of the trains are: - Train X = 130 m - Train Y = 145 m The length of the tunnel is equal to the sum of the lengths of both trains. ### Step 2: Calculate the length of the tunnel The length of the tunnel (L_tunnel) is given by: \[ L_{tunnel} = L_{trainX} + L_{trainY} = 130 \, m + 145 \, m = 275 \, m \] ### Step 3: Determine the time taken to meet The trains meet after 10 seconds of entering the tunnel. ### Step 4: Set up the speed ratio The speeds of Train X and Train Y are in the ratio of 5:6. Let the speed of Train X be \( 5x \) and the speed of Train Y be \( 6x \). ### Step 5: Calculate the total distance covered The total distance covered by both trains when they meet is the length of the tunnel: \[ \text{Total Distance} = L_{tunnel} = 275 \, m \] ### Step 6: Calculate the combined speed The combined speed of both trains when moving towards each other is: \[ \text{Combined Speed} = 5x + 6x = 11x \] ### Step 7: Use the time to find the speed Using the formula: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \] we can write: \[ 275 = 11x \times 10 \] From this, we can solve for \( x \): \[ 275 = 110x \] \[ x = \frac{275}{110} = 2.5 \, m/s \] ### Step 8: Calculate the speeds of Train X and Train Y Now we can find the individual speeds: - Speed of Train X: \[ S_{trainX} = 5x = 5 \times 2.5 = 12.5 \, m/s \] - Speed of Train Y: \[ S_{trainY} = 6x = 6 \times 2.5 = 15 \, m/s \] ### Step 9: Calculate the distance covered by Train X in 10 seconds The distance covered by Train X when they meet is: \[ D_{trainX} = S_{trainX} \times \text{Time} = 12.5 \, m/s \times 10 \, s = 125 \, m \] ### Step 10: Calculate the part of Train X left in the tunnel The length of Train X is 130 m, so the part of Train X that is left in the tunnel when it meets Train Y is: \[ \text{Part left} = L_{trainX} - D_{trainX} = 130 \, m - 125 \, m = 5 \, m \] ### Step 11: Calculate the percentage of Train X left in the tunnel To find the percentage of Train X that is left in the tunnel: \[ \text{Percentage left} = \left( \frac{\text{Part left}}{L_{trainX}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{5}{130} \right) \times 100 \] \[ = \frac{500}{130} \approx 3.846 \, \text{or} \, 3 \frac{11}{13} \% \] ### Final Answer The percentage of Train X that is left out of the tunnel when it meets Train Y is approximately \( 3 \frac{11}{13} \% \). ---
