Given:

Speed of train X = 50 km/hr.

Speed of train Y = 70 km/hr.

Train Y starts 1 hour after train X.

Formula Used:

Relative speed = Speed of train Y - Speed of train X

Distance = Speed × Time

Calculation:

Distance covered by train X in 1 hour = 50 km.

Relative speed = 70 km/hr - 50 km/hr = 20 km/hr

Time taken by train Y to cover the distance of 50 km with relative speed 20 km/hr:

Distance = Relative speed × Time

⇒ 50 km = 20 km/hr × Time

⇒ Time = 50 km / 20 km/hr

⇒ Time = 2.5 hours

So, train Y will cross train X in \(2\frac{1}{2}\) hours after the starting of train X.

The correct answer is option 2.
