    B 160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length of the train be x. Time taken to overtake = (x + x)/ (54-36) 2x/18 = 48/3600 x = 12/100 km   = 12/100 × 1000 = 120 m The length of each train is 120 m.
