    C 15 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 9 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Required time = Sum of the lengths of trains / Relative speed Relative speed = 55 + 35 = 90 kmph = (90 × 5)/18 = 25 m/sec Required time = (175 + 125)/25 = 300/25 = 12 seconds
