Solution
Let the speed of the second train = x km/hr
The speed of the first train = x+5 km/hr
Distance covered after two hours by the first train is 2(x+5) km.
Distance covered by the second train after two hours is 2x km.
(2x)^2 + 4(x+5)^2=(50)^2 (Using pythagoras theorem)
Solve
We get x=-20 and x=15
The speed of the first train = 15+5=20km/hr
