    Passenger train 60 km/h.

    Freight train 30 km/h.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the rate of the freight train be x km / hr the passenger train's rate is 2x km/hr.

    The combined speed = 3x km/hr, so we have the equation

    speed = distance. / time

    3x = 270 / 3

    9x = 270

    x = 30 km/h.
