Dear Student,

You need to remeber the formula:
If two trains (or bodies) start at the same time from points A and B towards each other and after crossing they take a and b sec in reaching B and A respectively, then:
(A's speed) : (B's speed) = (√b : √a )
Just apply this formula.

Hope you have a great learning with us.
All the Best.
