Two trains, which are moving along different tracks in opposite directions, are put on the same track due to a mistake. Their drivers, on noticing the mistake, start slowing down the trains when they are 300 m apart. Graphs given below show their velocities as a function of time as they slow down. The separation between the trains, when both have stopped, is :
