Expert Answer
now when the trains run in the same direction
the difference in speed is 9km/h=2.5m/s
so the fast the train will cover the entire length of the slow train in 32 secs
so distance=2.5x32=80mts
now when the trains run in the different direction
total speed is 99km/h=27.5m/s
now it takes 12 seconds to pass each other
so total distance=27.5x12=330mts
this distance include the length of both trains
so x+80=330......(x=lenght of the fast train)
so x=250mts
