the relative speed of 2 car w.r.t. 1 is (60-48) km/hr = 18 km/hr = 5m/s

it has to cover a distance  of 5 m 
hence time required is 1 s
now it also has to get through its length of 5 m
hence it would take 1s more

so total time taken is 2 s
in 2 s 2nd car cover a distance of  60*5*2/18=  10*10/3 =  100/3  = 33 .33 m


hence my ans is 33.33 metre
