The distance between Ahmedabad and Baroda is 100 Km 
Navjivan express starts at 6:30 am at 50 Km/hr and Howrah expresses starts at7:00 am at 40 Km/hr. 

Distance covered by Navjivan express in 30 minutes (by 7 am) is 25 Km/hr.

So, at 7 am, the distance between the two trains is 75 Kms and they aretravelling towards each other a relative speed of 50+40=90 Km/hr.
