    Explanation

    Relative speed = (45 + 30) km/hr = (75 x (5/18) m/sec. = (125/6) m/sec. We have to find the time taken by the slower train to pass the DRIVER of the faster train and not the complete train. So, distance covered = Length of the slower train. Therefore, Distance covered = 500 m. Therefore Required time =(500 x (6/125)) = 24 sec.
