Answer is : B. 6 sec.
Explanation:
Length of the 1st train = 105 m;
Length of the 2nd train = 90 m.
Relative speed of the trains,
= 45+72 = 117kmph
\(= 117\times\frac{5}{18} = 32.5 m/sec\)
\(\text{Time taken to cross each other},\)
\(=\frac{\text{ (Length of 1st train + length of 2nd train)}}{\text{relative speed of the trains}}.\)
Time taken = \(\frac{195}{32.5}\) = 6 secs.
