Train Velocity: Calculating Midpoint Velocity at Instant

[mayurkhairnar]

1. If a train engine is traveling with initial velocity 'u' and the guard's coach(last coach of the train) is found to cross a pole with velocity 'v', then what is the velocity of the midpoint of the train at that instant?

What have you tried so far?

I have not tried anything. This question is asked my brother. He is appearing in Competitive exam

try using basic equations like v=u+at. i think that v will be same.
