Correct Answer

Explanation


The length of the first train is given as 125 meters and the length of the second train is given as X meters.

The speed of both trains is given as 5 m/s.

The time taken for the second train to pass a certain point is given as 60 seconds.

We can use the speed and time taken to find the length of the second train. 

Since the speed of the train is 5 m/s and the time taken is 60 seconds, 

we can set up the following equation: 

(125 + X)/5 = 60.

Solving for X, we get X = 175 meters.

Therefore, the length of the second train is 175 meters.
