Solution

The correct option is A 50 m
Let the length of each train be x m.
During crossing, the two trains cover a distance equal to sum of their lengths.
Then, distance covered =2x m.
Relative speed =4636=10 km/hr
=10×518=259 m/sec
Speed=DistanceTime
259=2x36
x=50
Hence, the length of each train is 50 m.
