    A 2:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 4:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed one train be x m/s and the speed of the second train be y m/s. Length of the first train = Speed ├Ч Time = 24x Length of second train = Speed ├Ч Time = 14y So, {(24x + 14y)/(x+y)} = 20 тЗТ ┬а24x + 14y = 20x + 20y тЗТ┬а 4x = 6y Therefore, x:y = 3:2
