(a) 9 seconds
(b) 6 seconds    (Ans)
(c) 8 seconds
(d) No given
Answer :  Here we want to calculate the relative speed or velocity. Since the trains are moving in opposite directions the relative speed will arrive by summing up i.e. 90 Km hr + 54 Km/hr = ie. 144 Km/hour = 40 m/secs [to convert Km/hour to metres/seconds we want to multiply the term by 5/18.]
The total distance of crossing, [i.e. length of two trains] = 100m + 140m = 240m
The time required to cross 240m by 40m/secs speed = 240/40 = 6 seconds [Conversion of metres/seconds to KM/seconds will be arrived by multiplying by 18/5.]
