    Speed of first train=60km/h

    Speed of second train=80km/h

    Total distance between both the station=300km

    Now using the concept of relative speed=(Speed of first train+ Speed of second train) =60+80

    =140km/h

    ( here since both the trains are moving in the opposite direction so relative speed is calculated by taking the sum of both the speeds)

    Time=Distance/Speed

    =300/140

    =2.143hr or 2hr 8 mins
