National Rail Plan 2030 is India's comprehensive plan to develop railways by 2030 with focus on speed, safety, and capacity.
Vande Bharat Express has a maximum operational speed of 180 km/h, making it one of India's fastest trains.
Southern Railway became India's first fully electrified railway zone in 2023.
PM GATI SHAKTI is the National Master Plan for multimodal connectivity, which includes railway modernization.
When two objects move toward each other from opposite ends, their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds, and they meet when the combined distance traveled equals the total track length.
- Total distance between trains: \(D = 500\,\text{km}\)
- Speed of train 1: \(v_1 = 60\,\text{km/h}\)
- Speed of train 2: \(v_2 = 40\,\text{km/h}\)
- Both start simultaneously from opposite ends
Since the trains move toward each other, their relative speed is:
The time taken to meet is when the sum of distances traveled equals the total track length:
Answer: The trains will meet after \(5\) hours (Option D)
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor (bullet train) is India's first high-speed rail project.
Average speed = Total distance/Total time = (180+120)/(180/60 + 120/40) = 300/(3+3) = 50 km/h.
The total length of Indian Railways is approximately 68,000 km, making it one of the largest networks.
Vande Bharat Express is India's fastest passenger train with speeds up to 160 km/h.
Indian Railways is divided into 17 railway zones for administrative purposes (as of 2024).
