  1. How much time does a train, 50 m long, moving at 68 km/ hour take to pass another train, 75 m long, moving at 50 km/hour in the same direction ?
    1. 5 seconds
    2. 10 seconds
    3. 20 seconds
    4. 25 seconds

Total length = 50 + 75 = 125 m
∴   Required time =
Total length
Relative speed
