    C 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 114 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 122 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance = 525 + 425 = 950 m When trains running in the same direction, then their relative speed are the difference between their speeds тЗТ ┬аNet speed = 103 - 73 = 30 kmph тЗТ ┬аSpeed in m/s = (5/18) x 30 = 25/3 m/s Total time = 950/(25/3)┬а= 38 ├Ч 3 = 114 тИ┤ ┬аTime taken by the faster train to overtake┬аthe slower train = 114 sec
