180 m.

If a train is at a distance of 20+y m. from west end, then 'y' is the distance covered by train when deer runs towards the west end & train is 20m. away from tunnel.

The deer is at 80m. from the west end & if the total distance of tunnel=80+x

If the speed of the deer is 'd' & train '10d' ,then

(y+20+80+x)/(10d)= x/d , 9x-y=100 ---(i) &
80/d= y/10d, y=800 ---(ii)
Substituting y=800 in (i),x=100
So length of the tunnel=80+x= 80+100= 180m
