Given:

A train traveling at 70 km/h crosses another train traveling in the same direction at 34 km/h in 25 seconds.

Concept used:

They are  traveling in the same direction, So relative speed will be difference of their speed.

Calculation:

Relative speed of two trains is 70 -34 = 36 km/hr

36 km /hr = 36 × 5/18

⇒ 10 meter/sec

The combined length of both the trains is 25 × 10 = 250 meters

∴ The correct option is 2
