Two goods train each 500 m long, are running in opposite directions on parallel tracks. Their speeds are 45 km/hr and 30 km/hr respectively. Find the time taken by the slower train to pass the driver of the faster one.

Therefore, Distance covered = 500 m.
 Required time = |

500 x | 6 |  |
= 24 sec. |
| 125 |
