Correct Answer: 520 metres


Solution : The relative speed of the faster train concerning the slower train is
= 70 km/hr − 44 km/hr = 26 km/hr
= 26 × $\frac{5 }{18}$ m/s
= $\frac{130 }{18}$ m/s
The sum of the lengths of two trains = $\frac{130 }{18}$ × 72 metres
⇒ Distance = length of faster train = $\frac{130 }{18}$ × 72 = 520 metres
Hence, the correct answer is 520 metres.
