Correct Answer: 90 km/h


Solution : Speed of train A = $\frac{150}{30}$ = 5 m/sec
Let the speed of train B = $x$ m/sec
Relative speed = $(5+x)$ m/sec
Length of both trains = Relative speed × Time
⇒ $300=(5+x)×10$
⇒ $300=(50+10x)$
⇒ $x=\frac{250}{10}$ = $25$ m/sec
To convert this into km/h, multiply by $\frac{18}{5}$,
⇒ $25×\frac{18}{5}$ = $90$ km/h
Hence, the correct answer is 90 km/h.
