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.

Question : Two trains, each of length 125 metres, are running in parallel tracks in opposite directions. One train is running at a speed of 65 km/hr and they cross each other in 6 seconds. The speed of the other train is:
Question : Two trains, 180 meters and 120 meters in length, are running towards each other on parallel tracks, one at the rate of 65 km/h and another at 55 km/h. In how many seconds will they be clear of each other from the moment they meet?
Question : On parallel tracks, two trains of equal length are moving at speeds of 46 and 36 kilometres per hour in the same direction. In 36 seconds, the quicker the train overtakes the slower one. The length of each train is:
Question : Two trains of the same length are running on parallel tracks in the same direction at the speeds of 60 km/h and 90 km/h, respectively. The latter completely crosses the former in 30 seconds. The length of each train (in meters) is:
Question : A train travelling at 80 km/hr crosses another train travelling in the same direction at 26 km/hr in 30 seconds. What is the combined length of both the trains?
