Two trains of length 100 m and 200 m are 100 m apart. They start moving towards each other on parallel tracks, at speeds 54 kmph and 72 kmph. After how much time will the trains meet? Choose the correct answer:  A) 20/7  B) 20/5  C) 20/9  D) 20/5  E) 20/1
They are moving in opposite directions, relative speed is equal to the sum of their speeds.   Relative speed = (54 + 72)*5/18 = 7*5=
