consider each bogie of train to be 10m,so being identical lengths of train L1=L2=120
they take 2min to cross each other completely=> time t=2min=120sec
so, v1+v2=(L1+L2)/time to cross each other ( V1=V2=v)
2v=(120+120)/120=>v=1m/s
now bogies of a is increased frm 12 to 16 =>L1=160 & L2=120
now ,t=(L1+L2)/(V1+V2)
=>t=160+120/2
t=140 sec
therfore 140-120=20 sec more time is required to cross each other
