Hi


Let the speed of the slower train be x m/sec

then, the speed of the faster train = 2x m/sec

Relative speed = (x+2x) m/sec = 3x m/sec

therefore, (100 +100)/8 = 3x

24x=200

x=25/3

so, the speed of the faster train is 50/3 m/sec

(50/3 x 18/5) km/hr

the speed of the faster train is 60 km/hr.


Hope this information is helpful.
