A train leaves from a station and moves at a certain speed. After 2 hours, another train leaves from the same station and moves in the same direction at a speed of 60 mph. If it catches up with the first train in 4 hours, what is the speed of the first train?

The correct option is A 40 mphDistance traveled By First Train in 6 Hours = Distance traveled By Second Train in 4 Hours⇒V(2+4)=60×4⇒V(6)=60×4 ⇒V=40 mph

A train leaves from a station and moves at a certain speed. After $2$ hours, another train leaves from the same station and moves in the same direction at a speed of $60$ mph. If it catches up with the first train in $4$ hours, what is the speed of the first train?

The correct option is A $40 m p h$
Distance traveled By First Train in 6 Hours = Distance traveled By Second Train in 4 Hours

$\Rightarrow V (2 + 4) = 60 \times 4$
$\Rightarrow V (6) = 60 \times 4$

$\Rightarrow V = 40$ $m p h$
