Two trains 120m and 80m long are running in opposite directions with velocities 42 km/h and 30 km/h. The time they take to cross each other is:

A10 s
B15 s
C20 s
D25 s

✓ Correct Answer: A10 s

Relative velocity = 42 + 30 = 72 km/h = 20 m/s. Total distance = 120 + 80 = 200m. Time = 200 / 20 = 10s.
