Length of the train = 200 m = 0.2 km
So, 0.2 km = (60 km/h + 3 km/h) * t [As both are approaching from opposite side the relative speed will the sum of both speed]
0.2 km = 63 km/h * t
t = 0.2 km / 63 km/h
t = 0.2 / 63 h
t = (2 * 3600) / (10 * 63) s
t = 80 / 7 s
So, 0.2 km = (60 km/h + 3 km/h) * t [As both are approaching from opposite side the relative speed will the sum of both speed]
0.2 km = 63 km/h * t
t = 0.2 km / 63 km/h
t = 0.2 / 63 h
t = (2 * 3600) / (10 * 63) s
t = 80 / 7 s
