    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    Let the length of each train be x metres.

     

    Then, distance covered = 2x metres.

     

    Relative speed = (46 - 36) km/hr

       =   \([10 *\frac { 5 } { 18} ]\)   m/sec
     
       = \([\frac { 25 } {9 } ]\)   m/sec
     
      \( \frac { 2X } { 36 } \)=\(\frac { 25 } {9 } \)   
       

     2x = 100

     x = 50.
