One local and another express train were proceeding in the same direction on parallel tracks at 29 km/h and 65 km/h, respectively. The driver of the former noticed that it took exactly 16 s for the faster train to pass by him. What is the length of the faster train ?

- 60 m
- 120 m
- 160 m
- 240 m
Correct Option: C
Relative speed of express train to local train = 65 - 29 = 36 km/h
= 36 x (5/18) m/s = 10 m/s
∴ Length of faster train = 10 x 16 = 160 m
