(C) Let the speed of the faster train be $v_1$ and the speed of the slower train be $v_2$ in $m/s$.Total length of both trains $= 90 + 90 = 180\, m$.When moving in the same direction,relative speed $= v_1 - v_2$.Time taken $= \frac{	ext{Total distance}}{	ext{Relative speed}} \implies 18 = \frac{180}{v_1 - v_2} \implies v_1 - v_2 = 10\, (i)$.When moving in opposite directions,relative speed $= v_1 + v_2$.Time taken $= \frac{	ext{Total distance}}{	ext{Relative speed}} \implies 9 = \frac{180}{v_1 + v_2} \implies v_1 + v_2 = 20\, (ii)$.Adding equations $(i)$ and $(ii)$:$2v_1 = 30 \implies v_1 = 15\, m/s$.Subtracting $(i)$ from $(ii)$:$2v_2 = 10 \implies v_2 = 5\, m/s$.Thus,the speeds are $15\, m/s$ and $5\, m/s$.

Two places $P$ and $Q$ are $162 \, km$ apart. $A$ train leaves $P$ for $Q$ and simultaneously another train leaves $Q$ for $P$. They meet at the end of $6 \, hours$. If the former train travels $8 \, km/h$ faster than the other,then the speed of the train from $Q$ is (in $km/h$):

$A$ $150 \, m$ long train takes $10 \, s$ to pass over another $100 \, m$ long train coming from the opposite direction. If the speed of the first train is $30 \, km/h$,the speed of the second train is (in $km/h$):

The average speed of a train is $1 \frac{3}{7}$ times the average speed of a car. The car covers a distance of $588 \text{ km}$ in $6 \text{ hours}$. How much distance will the train cover in $13 \text{ hours}$? (in $\text{km}$)

Two trains are running in opposite directions with the same speed. If the length of each train is $135 \, m$ and they cross each other in $18 \, s$,the speed of each train is (in $km/h$):

$A$ train covers a distance in $50 \text{ minutes}$ if it runs at a speed of $48 \text{ km/h}$. The speed at which the train must run to reduce the time of journey to $40 \text{ minutes}$ will be (in $\text{km/h}$):
