Relative speed = 40 – 20 = 20 km/hour
= 20 × 5 m/sec. 18 ∴ Length of the faster train = 20 × 5 × 5 metres 18 = 250 = 27 7 metres 9 9 Correct Option: C

Relative speed = 1000 − 1000 8 10 = 5000 − 4000 = 1000 m/minute 40 40 ∴ Required time = 100 1000 40 = 4000 = 4 m/minute 1000 ∴ Distance covered by the thief = 1000 × 4 10
= 400 metresCorrect Option: B
