Answer:

Explanation:

Since they are traveling in the same direction, the distance between them increases at a rate of the difference of their speeds.

The relative speed of train A with respect to train B is:

105 kmph - 87 kmph = 18 kmph

In three hours, the distance between them will be:

Distance = Speed x Time

Distance = 18 kmph x 3 hours

Distance = 54 km

Therefore, the two trains will be 54 kilometers apart after three hours.
