W+W=5 ... (ii) ∴ 2(length of each train) = 100 metres
Using the above two equations, we get or the length of each train = 50 metres.

Thus, time taken to ride both ways = 2 × 0.5 = 1 hr. 8. a Let the speed of the boat be x km/hr.

Then, relative speed = (30 + X) km/hr. ⇒ 12x + 24 = 20x – 40 ⇒ 8x = 64 ⇒ x = 8.
∴ Time taken to cover (150 + 100) metres at (30 + X)

In 6 days job completed = 10 × 6 = 60 men days
Remaining work = 180 – 60 = 120 men days (Men × hours per day × number of days ) = cons tan t
When 5 more men joined then, Work done
Q Man × day = 120
⇒ 15 × days = 120 (18 × 6 × 21) = (18 × 9 × D )
