  1. Two trains, 80 metres and 120 metres long, are running at the speed of 25 km/hr and 35 km/hr respectively in the same direction on parallel tracks. How many seconds will they take to pass each other ?
    1. 48
    2. 64
    3. 70
    4. 72
Correct Option: D

Relative speed = 35 – 25 = 10 kmph

=
10 × 5
m/sec.
18

Total length = 80 + 120 = 200 metres
∴   Required time =
Sum of the lengths of trains
Relative speed

=
200
10 × 5
18

=
200 × 18
= 72 seconds
10 × 5
