    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Let the speed of each train be x m/sec.

    Then, relative speed of the two trains = 2x m/sec.

    So, 2x = (120 + 120)
    12

    => 2x = 20

    => x = 10.

    Therefore Speed of each train = 10 m/sec = 1-sym-oparen-h1 10 x 18 1-sym-cparen-h1 km/hr = 36 km/hr.
