Two trains travel on parallel tracks in the same direction. The first train has a length of 100m and velocity of 200kph. The second train has a length of 120m and velocity of 250kph. Their clear distance is initially 800 meters. (Hint: Solve for the relative velocity of two bodies) 1. How long will it take for the second train to reach the rear of the first 2. How long will it take for their front to be abreast. 3. How long will it take for the second train to fully overtake the first.
