Correct Answer: 80


Solution : Given:
Length of Mumbai Rajdhani = 850 m
Length of Kissan Express = 700 m
Speed of Mumbai Rajdhani = 62 km/hr
Speed of Kissan Express = 55 km/hr
Distance between trains = 1050 m
We know that,
If two trains move with speed $S_1$ and $S_2$ in opposite directions.
Their relative speed = $S_1 +\ S_2$
Now,
$\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}=\ \frac{850\ +\ 1050\ +\ 700}{(62\ +\ 55)\times \frac{5}{18}}=\ \frac{2600\ \times 18}{117\ \times 5}=\ 80$ seconds
Hence, the correct answer is 80 seconds.
