speed = distance / time
s1 -s2 = x+y/t
120-s2 = 100+200/ 2×60
120-s2 =300/120
120-s2 = 5/2
120-s2 = 5/2 × 18/5
120-s2 =9
s2 = 120-9
s2 =111 kmph is answer
option a is answer obtained
hope it helps you friend

bhargav406: yes as they are moving in same direction speeds should be subtracted
VemugantiRahul: you took s1-s2 which implies s1>s2.How you concluded s1 is the given speed and s2 speed to be found out
VemugantiRahul: s1 > s2 how
VemugantiRahul: s1 is greater than s2
bhargav406: that's what I founded I finded s2 which we have to find by the question
bhargav406: they asked only s2 speed
VemugantiRahul: i didn't get it
VemugantiRahul: s2 can be greater than 120 which we don't know till we solve
VemugantiRahul: then how you took 120-s2
VemugantiRahul: why not s2-120

Answer:

The speed of train Y is 111 km/hr. [Option(a)]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Speed of train X is 120 km/hr and Time is 2 minutes.

Length of X is 100 m and length of Y is 200 m.

Let the speed of train Y be V km\hr

Speed of X relative to Y=(120-V)km/hr

                                       = [(120 − V) \frac{5}{18} ] m/sec

                                        = (600-5V) /18 m/sec

Total distance covered = (200+100)= 300 m

       ∴  \frac{300}{{(600-5V)/18}}  = 120

        → V = \frac{1110}{10}  = 111

       ∴ V= 111 km/hr
