  1. A train of 150 metre long is going towards north direction at a speed of 10 m/s . A parrot flies at the speed of 5 m/s towards south direction parallel to the railway track. The time taken by the parrot to cross the train is
    1. 12 sec
    2. 8 sec
    3. 15 sec
    4. 10 sec
Correct Option: D
