Answer:

Let the average spped of the second train be x km/h.

Thus, the speed of the first train will be (x+5) km/h.

Distance travelled by the first train in two hours =2(x+5) km/h

Distance travelled by the second train in two hours =2x km/h

Using pythagoras theorem, we have

(x−15)(x+20)=0

x=15,−20

Ignore the negative value of the speed. We have,

Speed of the second train be 15 km/h.

Spped of the first train be (15+5)= 20 km/h.
