Correct Answer: 36 m/s


Solution : The speed of the first train = $\frac{360}{30}$ = 12 m/s
Let the speed of the second train = $x$ m/s
The relative speed between the train = $(x+12)$ m/s
The total length of the train = 360 + 360 = 720
$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{{\text{Time}}}$
$⇒\frac{720}{x+12}=15$
$⇒x+12=48$
$⇒x=36$
Hence, the correct answer is 36 m/s.
