b. 149 m
c. 162 m
d. 166 m
e. None of these

ANSWER: 166 m
 
Given :
Speed of fast train = 50 kmph.
Speed of slow train = 20 kmph.
The driver in the slower train is moving with the speed of the slower train which is 20 kmph.
The faster train will pass the driver when it has gained a distance. Distance gained by faster train
in 1 hour = (50 – 20) = 30 km
= 8.33 m/sec
Distance gained by faster train in 20 sec = 20 * 8.33 = 166.6 m.
Therefore, Length of faster train = 166.6 m.
