Solution

To solve this problem, we need to add the lengths of the two trains together and then divide by the sum of their speeds.

Step 1: Add the lengths of the two trains together. 126 m + 119 m = 245 m

Step 2: Add the speeds of the two trains together. 12 m/s + 23 m/s = 35 m/s

Step 3: Divide the total length by the total speed to find the time it takes for the trains to cross each other. 245 m / 35 m/s = 7 seconds

So, the correct answer is 7 seconds.
