C. 12 seconds
D. 15 seconds
A. 10 seconds
B. 20 seconds
C. 12 seconds
D. 15 seconds
Best answer
Answer: C. 12 seconds
Answer: (C) 12 seconds
Relative speed (opposite directions) \(= 45 + 63 = 108\) km/h \(= 108 \times \frac{5}{18} = 30\) m/s. Distance \(= 150 + 210 = 360\) m. Time \(= \frac{360}{30} = 12\) s.
