Train X a takes three more hour, so divide 630 by all the options given and where ever the difference is 3, the higher speed is of Y and lesser is that of X.
\(\frac{630}{15}=\frac{2*3*3*5*7}{3*5}=42\)
\(\frac{630}{18}=\frac{2*3*3*5*7}{2*3*3}=35\)
\(\frac{630}{21}=\frac{2*3*3*5*7}{3*7}=30\)
\(\frac{630}{30}=\frac{2*3*3*5*7}{2*3*5}=21\)
\(\frac{630}{35}=\frac{2*3*3*5*7}{5*7}=18\)
21-18=3, so speed of X is 30, while that of Y is 35.
