Correct Answer: 32 km/h


Solution : The passenger train covers the distance in 4 hours = 80 × 4 = 320 km
The goods train travels this distance in = (6 + 4) = 10 hours
We know that, $\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
So, the speed of the goods train = $\frac{320}{10}=32$ km/h
Hence, the correct answer is 32 km/h.
