Correct Answer: 85 km/hr
Solution : Given:
The first train is running at a speed of 65 km/hr.
Let the speed of the second train = $x$ km/hr
So, time= $\frac{\text{Length of Train 1+ Length of Train 2}}{\text{Relative speed in opposite direction}}$
$⇒6=\frac{125+125}{(65+x)×\frac{5}{18}}$
$⇒65+x=50×3$
$⇒x= 150 - 65$
$\therefore x= 85$ km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 85 km/hr.
