E Correct answer
Explanation

When two objects move in the same direction, their relative speed is the difference of their individual speeds. Relative speed = 40 - 25 = 15 km/hr. Converting to m/s: 15 × (5/18) = 25/6 m/s. Length of train = relative speed × time = (25/6) × 48 = 200 meters. Option E is correct.
