b) 40 km/hr

Karnatak Express train crosses the Brindavan Express in three hours
Distance covered by Karnatak express when it crosses Brindavan Express = Speed of Karnatak Express x Time Until It Crosses Brindavan = 60 x 3 = 180 km
This means that, Brindavan express would had covered the same distance 180 Km from Chennai when it is crossed (Overtook) by Karnatak.

The distance covered by Brindavan Express from 7.10 am till 11.40 am = 180 km (in 4 1/2 hours)
So the average speed of Brindavan Express is = Distance covered by Brindavan till crossing / Time taken till crossing = 180 / 4 1/2
180 / 9 x 2 = 40 km/hour
