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
