The correct answer is (a) F1 > F2

Explanation:

The earth spins from west to east at equator. To maintain the same speed the first train has to press the track more than normal as it goes against the speed of earth's surface while the second train gets help from the earth's movement and it has to press the track less than the normal which explains the answer.
