  1. Answer: Option (B) 3 : 2
    Explanation:
    Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively.
    Then, length of the first train = 27x metres,
    and length of the second train = 17y metres.
    (27x + 17y) /(x+ y)= 23
    27x + 17y = 23x + 23y
    4x = 6y
    x /y= 3/2 .
