1 : 2

Let the length of goods train=x and g passenger train=y and
Speed of goods train=g and passenger train=p , then their relative speed=p-g
Time taken to cross goods train by passenger train=(x+y)/(p-g) =1 ----(i) and
Time taken to cross goods train as seen by passenger in the passenger train= x/(p-g)=2/3 ----(ii)
From (i) & (ii), x+y =3x/2 or 2y=x
Hence ratio of lengths of goods train to passenger train=y/x =1/2 =1 : 2

Both travelling in same direction then their relative speed is ( S1 -S2 )
S1-S2 = D1/60 ( 1min equal to 60 sec)
S1-S2 = D2/40 ( 2/3 min means 40 sec)
By comparison
D1/60=D2/40
D1/D2 = 3:2 thats a right answer...
