Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Answer: 105

Reason:

  • Speed of the first train = distance ÷ time = 350 ÷ 2 = 175 km/h.

  • The ratio of speeds is 5:3, so the second train's speed = (3/5) × speed of the first = (3/5) × 175 = 105 km/h.

  • Therefore the speed of the second train is 105 km/h.
