A 150 m long train crosses another 210 m long train running in the opposite direction in 10 8 second......

A 150 m long train crosses another 210 m long train running in the opposite direction in 10.8 seconds. If the shorter train crosses a pole in 12 seconds, what is the speed of longer train ?

Total distance = 150 + 210 = 360 mts

Time taken to cross each other when moving in opposite direction = 10.8 sec

Relative speed of trains = (350/10.8) x 18/5 = 3600/30 = 120 kmph

Speed of shorter train = (150/12) x 18/5 = 45 kmph

Hence, speed of longer train = 120 - 45 = 75 kmph.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
