Length of Z1 Express = 675 m
Length of X1 Express = 525 m
Speed of Z1 Express = 221 km/h
Speed of X1 Express = 211 km/h
Formula used:
Time taken = Total distance / Relative speed
Relative speed (opposite direction) = Speed of Train 1 + Speed of Train 2
Calculation:
Relative speed = 221 + 211 = 432 km/h
