Two trains going on a parallel line in opposite directions take 10 s to cross each other. But if they are going in the same direction, the longer train crosses the shorter train in 30 s. If the length of the longer train is decreased by 50%, the time taken to cross the shorter train while going in the same direction decreases by 8 s. Find the time taken by the longer train to cross a tunnel twice its length, if the difference between the length of the trains is 25 m?

Two champion swimmers start a two-length swimming race at the same time, but from the opposite ends of the pool. They swim at constant but different speeds. They first pass at a point 18.5 m from the deep end. Having completed one length, each swimmer takes a rest at the edge of the pool for 45 s. After setting off on the return length, the swimmers pass for the second time just 10.5 m from the shallow end. Therefore, the length of the pool is:
