Answer 1

Answer: Speeds of each train are 33.33km/hr and 75km/hr respectively.

Explanation:

Since we have given the distance between Mumbai-Central and Surat is 300 km

Time taken travelling towards Surat = 9 hours

Speed of this train is given by

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}=\frac{300}{9}=33.33\text{ km/hr}$

Similarly,

Time taken towards Mumbai Central = 4 hours

Speed of this train is given by

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}=\frac{300}{4}=75\text{ km/hr}$
