Two trains $A$ and $B$,initially $120\, km$ apart,start moving towards each other on the same track with a velocity of $60\, km/hr$ each. At the moment of start,train $A$ blows a whistle,which reflects off train $B$ and subsequently reflects off train $A$,and so on. If the velocity of sound waves in air is $1200\, km/hr$,what is the total distance travelled by the sound waves before the trains crash (in $km$)?
- A$2400$
- B$1200$
- C$240$
- D$120$

View SolutionTwo trains $A$ and $B$ of length $400 \; m$ each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of $72 \; km \; h^{-1}$ in the same direction,with $A$ ahead of $B$. The driver of $B$ decides to overtake $A$ and accelerates by $1 \; m \; s^{-2}$. If after $50 \; s$,the guard of $B$ just brushes past the driver of $A$,what was the original distance (in $m$) between them?
