Voila, you are here! Problems on trains in aptitude problems are not just to test your ability to solve the problems on trains and their properties but you can logically resolve many theories using this concept and this is one of the important part while learning aptitude. Conversions: A Kilometer/Hour = A(5//18) meter/second. A meter/second = A(18/5) Kilometer/Hour. Foundation: Time taken by a train of length 'l' units to cross a fixed point or pole is equal to the time taken by the train to travel 'l' units. Time taken by a train of length 'l' units to cross a  stationery object of length 'm' units units is equal to the time taken by the train to travel 'l+m' units. Suppose 2 trains are moving in the same direction with speeds U , V where U > V then their relative speed is U - V .

In Boats and stream based problems,we need to calculate either speed or time to reach some point either upstream or downstream. In water,the direction of the flow is downstream and opposite direction is upstream.
