    Let the speed of train B be x, then speed of A will be x-12.

    Time taken by A = 230 / (x-12)

    Time taken by B = 290/x

    Given that the time taken by train A = Train B

    Then, 230 / (x-12) = 290/x

    23x=29x-349

    6x=349

    x=58

    Therefore, the speed of the train A is (x-12, 58-12=46) 46 and Train b is 58

    Have a wonderful day : D
