The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the relative speed of the second train with respect to the first train, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the speeds of the trains**: - Let the speed of the first train (Train A) be \( S_A = 5 \text{ km/h} \). - Let the speed of the second train (Train B) be \( S_B = 15 \text{ km/h} \). 2. **Understand the direction of movement**: - Both trains are moving in the same direction. 3. **Calculate the relative speed**: - When two objects are moving in the same direction, the relative speed is calculated by subtracting the speed of the slower object from the speed of the faster object. - Therefore, the relative speed of Train B with respect to Train A is given by: \[ \text{Relative Speed} = S_B - S_A \] - Substitute the values: \[ \text{Relative Speed} = 15 \text{ km/h} - 5 \text{ km/h} = 10 \text{ km/h} \] 4. **Conclusion**: - The relative speed of the second train with respect to the first train is \( 10 \text{ km/h} \). ### Final Answer: The relative speed of the second train with respect to the first train is **10 km/h**. ---
