From a station two trains start at the same time. One train moves west and the other moves north. First train moves 5 km/hr faster than the second train. If, after 2 hours, the distance between the two trains is 50 km, find the average speed of each train.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`:.` The speed of the train moving north is 15 km/hr and speed of the train that is moving towards west is `15+5 = 20` km/hr.
