Correct Answer: 252


Solution : Speed of train X = 74 km/hr
Speed of train Y = 52 km/hr
Relative speed = 74 + 52 = 126 km/hr
= 126 × $\frac{5}{18}$
= 35 m/s
Time = 12 s
Total length = 35 × 12 = 420 m
So, the length of train Y = $\frac{2}{3}$ × the length of train X
⇒ The length of train X + the length of train Y = 420 m
⇒ The length of train X + $\frac{2}{3}$ × the length of train X = 420
⇒ $\frac{5}{3}$ × the length of train X = 420
⇒ The length of train X = 420 × $\frac{3}{5}$ = 84 × 3 = 252 m
Hence, the correct answer is 252 m.
