Correct Answer: $35$
Solution :
The relative speed of A and B $=33\;\mathrm{m/s} + 47\;\mathrm{m/s} = 80\;\mathrm{m/s}$
The time they take to meet for the first time $=\frac{1400}{80} = 17.5\;\mathrm{s}$
Since they meet every time they cover the length of the track,
They will meet for the second time after another $17.5\;\mathrm{seconds}$.
Therefore, A and B will meet for the 2nd time after $17.5 + 17.5 = 35\;\mathrm{seconds}$
Hence, the correct answer is $35$.
