Correct Answer: 72


Solution : Distance to be covered = 80 + 120 = 200 m
Relative speed = 35 – 25 = 10 km/hr = 10 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = $\frac{50}{18}$ m/s
$\therefore$ Time taken to pass = $\frac{\text{Sum of the length of the trains}}{\text{Relative Speed}}=\frac{200}{\frac{50}{18}}$ = 72 seconds
Hence, the correct answer is 72 seconds.
