Detailed Solution

Length of each train= 100 m 

Total distance traveled by train to cross each other 

=100+100=200m

Time is taken = 8 sec.

 Speed =2008=25m/s

Let the speed slow. The train is x m is. 

The speed of fast train is 2x m/s.

x+2x=253x=25x=253m/secx=253×185=30km/h

So, speed of faster train = 2x = 2 x 30 

= 60km/hr.
