Nikita Verma  (8 years ago)

let the length of the train A be x and that of train B be y
Case 1: (x+y)/(72+45)*5/18=30
because distance/speed=time . Since the trains are moving in opposite directions their speeds will get added. Also to connvet the speed from hrs to sec we multiply it by 5/18
Here we get (x+y)= 39*5*5.

Case 2: since the train has overtake the other they must be running in the same direction.
therefore, 39*5*5/(72-45)*5/18= 130 sec.(when trains travel in same direction speed gets subtracted)
