Detailed Solution

Let “s” be the distance between two ends of train, ‘a’ is constant acceleration

$V^{2} - u^{2} = 2 a s, a s = \frac{V^{2} - u^{2}}{2}$

Let $V_{C}$ be velocity at midpoint

$∴ V_{_{C}}^{2} - u^{2} = \frac{2 a s}{2}$

$V_{_{C}}^{2} = \frac{V^{2} - u^{2}}{2} + u^{2}$

$V_{_{C}}^{} = \sqrt{\frac{V^{2} + u^{2}}{2}}$
