Answer : 2. "30 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 30 kmph Explanation: Let the speed of the faster train be 'S' kmph   Then speed of the slower train will be '(S-5)' kmph   Time taken by faster train = 350/S hrs   Time taken by slower train = 350/(S-5) hrs  350s-5 - 350s = 2 hrs 20 min = 213 = 73   => S = 30 km/hr.
