if two trains are running in the same position with speeds, 29k/h and 56k/h respectively and the faster train take 16 seconds to cross one passenger of the slower train then what is the length of the faster train?
------
They are passing a point between them at [29k/h + 56k/h] = 85k/h ? per ?
-------
IF those ?'s are meters per second the answer would be
Ans: 18[85k/h] meters
