Correct Answer: 15
Solution :
Let $s$ be the relative speed of the trains, $d{_1}$ be the length of the first train, and $d{_2}$ be the length of the second train.
⇒ $s=70+56=126\mathrm{\ km/hr}=126\times \frac{5}{18}\mathrm{\ m/s}=35\mathrm{\ m/s}$
Time $=\frac{d{_1}+d{_2}}{s}=\frac{320+205}{35}=\frac{525}{35}=15$ seconds
Hence, the correct answer is 15.
