None of those could be correct. Are you sure you have the right numbers? The freight train would be traveling slower than 16km/hr. From my calculations, 10.667 km/hr would be correct.

If the passenger train was travelling 60km/hr (maybe you heard it wrong? ’60’ sounds like ’16’), then the answer would be B, 40 km/hr.
