Answer/Solution

48

Steps/Work

Let the speed of the slower train be x m/sec.
Then, speed of the train = 2x m/sec.
Relative speed = ( x + 2x) = 3x m/sec.
(100 + 100)/10 = 3x => x = 20/3.
So, speed of the faster train = 40/3 = 40/3 * 18/5 = 48 km/hr.

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate ((n0 + n0) / (n1 * (1 + 2)) * 2 * 3600) / 1000.

n0 =100
n1 =10
