The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of the two trains with respect to each other, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the speeds of the trains - Train A is moving at a speed of 15 km/h. - Train B is moving at a speed of 21 km/h. ### Step 2: Determine 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. ### Step 3: Calculate the relative speed Relative speed = Speed of Train B - Speed of Train A Relative speed = 21 km/h - 15 km/h Relative speed = 6 km/h ### Conclusion The speed of the trains with respect to each other is 6 km/h. ---
