Correct Answer: 420 m
Explanation:
Let the length of the stationary train Y be LY 
 Given that length of train X, LX = 300 m 
  Let the speed of Train X be V. 
 Since the train X crosses train Y and a pole in 60 seconds and 25 seconds respectively. 
 => 300/V = 25 ---> ( 1 ) 
 (300 + LY) / V = 60 ---> ( 2 ) 
 From (1) V = 300/25 = 12 m/sec. 
 From (2) (300 + LY)/12 = 60
  => 300 + LY = 60 (12) = 720 
 => LY = 720 - 300 = 420 m 
 Length of the stationary train = 420 m
