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.
