    Step-by-step explanation:

    In this question u can use relative speed of opposite direction

    suppose speed of southbound train is x miles per hour so northbound train has speed of x+10 miles per hour.

    Speed of tain1 + speed of train 2 = Total distance / total time

    (x+10+x) = 330/6

    2x+10 = 330/6

    2x = 45

    x=22.5 miles per hour (southbound train)

    northbound train 22.5+10=32.5 miles per hour
