(C) Let the speed of the faster train be $v_1$ and the speed of the slower train be $v_2$ in $m/s$.Total length of both trains $= 90 + 90 = 180\, m$.When moving in the same direction,relative speed $= v_1 - v_2$.Time taken $= \frac{	ext{Total distance}}{	ext{Relative speed}} \implies 18 = \frac{180}{v_1 - v_2} \implies v_1 - v_2 = 10\, (i)$.When moving in opposite directions,relative speed $= v_1 + v_2$.Time taken $= \frac{	ext{Total distance}}{	ext{Relative speed}} \implies 9 = \frac{180}{v_1 + v_2} \implies v_1 + v_2 = 20\, (ii)$.Adding equations $(i)$ and $(ii)$:$2v_1 = 30 \implies v_1 = 15\, m/s$.Subtracting $(i)$ from $(ii)$:$2v_2 = 10 \implies v_2 = 5\, m/s$.Thus,the speeds are $15\, m/s$ and $5\, m/s$.

Two trains started at the same time,one from $A$ to $B$ and the other from $B$ to $A$. If they arrived at $B$ and $A$ respectively $4 \ hours$ and $9 \ hours$ after they passed each other,the ratio of the speeds of the two trains was:

If a train runs at $40 \text{ km/h}$,it reaches its destination late by $11 \text{ minutes}$,but if it runs at $50 \text{ km/h}$,it is late by $5 \text{ minutes}$ only. Find the correct time for the train to complete its journey (in minutes).

$A$ man covers a certain distance between his house and office on a scooter. With an average speed of $30 \, km/hr$,he is late by $10 \, min$. However,with a speed of $40 \, km/hr$,he reaches his office $5 \, min$ earlier. Find the distance between his house and office in $km$.

$A$ car travelling with $\frac{5}{7}$ of its actual speed covers $42 \, km$ in $1 \, hour \, 40 \, minutes \, 48 \, seconds.$ Find the actual speed of the car (in $km/hr$).

$A$ man travels first $50 \, km$ at $25 \, kmph$, next $40 \, km$ at $20 \, kmph$, and then $90 \, km$ at $15 \, kmph$. His average speed for the whole journey (in $kmph$) is:
