    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    Relative speed = (120 + 80) km/hr

       = 1-sym-oparen-h1 200 x 5 1-sym-cparen-h1m/sec
    18
       = 1-sym-oparen-h1 500 1-sym-cparen-h1m/sec.
    9

    Let the length of the other train be x metres.

    Then, x + 270 = 500
    9 9

     x + 270 = 500

     x = 230.
