Detailed Solution

While travelling on a train, the speed of the trees outside the train appears equal to the speed of the train.
Due to the relative motion outside, trees appear to be moving backwards with the train's speed. Relative motion is the motion of one object related to or corresponding to the motion of another object. The trees appear to be moving in the opposite direction while travelling in a train because the position of the trees is changing with respect to the eyes of the viewer. At the same time, our co-passenger in a train seems stationary because their position is not changing with respect to the passenger.
