    Average speed of transit train is 60 mph

    Explanation:

    Average speed of passenger train = 45 mph

    Time taken from station A to station B for passenger train = 10:00 - 6:00 = 4 hours

    Distance between station A to station B = 45 x 4 = 180 miles.

    Time taken from station A to station B for transit train = 4 - 1 = 3 hours

    Distance between station A to station B = Average speed of transit train x Time taken from station A to station B for transit train

    180 = Average speed of transit train x 3

    Average speed of transit train = 60 mph

    Average speed of transit train is 60 mph
