View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Note : If two trains (or bodies) start at the same time from points A and B towards each other and after crossing they take a and b sec in reaching B and A respectively, then: (A's speed) : (B's speed) = (√ b : √ a) Therefore, Ratio of the speeds of two trains = √ 9:√ 4 = 3 : 2
