MCQ
Two trains are moving with equal speed in opposite directions along two parallel railway tracks. If the wind is blowing with speed $u$ along the track so that the relative velocities of the trains with respect to the wind are in the ratio of $1:2$, then the speed of each train must be
  • $3u$
  • B
    $2u$
  • C
    $4u$
  • D
    $u$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$3u$
a
Let the speed of trains be $x$

$\therefore \frac{x-u}{x+u}=\frac{1}{2}$ or $2 x-2 u=x+u$

or $x=3 u$
