Correct Answer: 50 m


Solution : Let the length of each train be $x$ m.
During the crossing, the two trains cover a distance equal to the sum of their lengths.
Then, the distance covered = $2x$ m
Relative speed = 46 − 36 = 10 km/hr = 10 × $\frac{5}{18} =\frac{25}{9}$ m/s
$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{{\text{Time}}}$
⇒ $\frac{25}{9}=\frac{2x}{36}$
$\therefore x=$ 50 m
Hence, the correct answer is 50 m.
