  1. Two trains 125 metres and 115 metres in length, are running towards each other on parallel lines, one at the rate of 33 km/hr and the other at 39 km/hr. How much time (in seconds) will they take to pass each other from the moment they meet ?
    1. 8
    2. 10
    3. 12
    4. 15
Correct Option: C

Relative speed
= (33 + 39) kmph
= 72 kmph

=
72 × 5
m/sec.
18

= 20 m/sec.
∴   Time taken in crossing =
Length of both trains
Relative speed

=
125 + 115
=
240
2020

= 12 seconds
