Let V and u be the speed of train and wind respectively Also let train -1 is running due east and train-2 is running due west.For train-1 , length of steam track in a given time t ,l1 = vt - ut = (v-u) tand for train - 2 , l2 = vt + ut = (v+u)tsince l2 = 2l1 , we can write(v+u)t = 2 x (v - u) t ⇒V = 3u
