Detailed Solution

$\overset{60 m}{\to} 80 k m / h r$
$\underset{120 m}{\to} 30 k m / h r$
Relative speed of passenger train $= v_{1} - v_{2} = 50 k m / h r$
$T_{1} = \frac{t o t a l l e n g t h o f t r a i n =}{r e l a t i v e s p p e d} \frac{180}{50}$
Trains are moving in opposite direction
Relative speed of train $= v_{1} + v_{2} = 110 k m / h r$
$T_{2} = \frac{t o t a l l e n g t h o f t r a i n =}{r e l a t i v e s p e e d} \frac{180}{110}$
$\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} = \frac{110}{50} = \frac{11}{5}$
