Answer

${\bf 10^5}\;\rm pulse/s$

Work Step by Step

We know that $$\Delta f \approx \frac{1}{\Delta t}\tag 1$$ The period of the pulse train is given by $$ T=2\Delta t $$ Plug $\Delta t$ from (1); $$ T= \frac{2}{\Delta f}\tag 2 $$ where we know that $$f=\dfrac{1}{T}$$ So, plugging from (2) $$f= \frac{\Delta f}{2}$$ where $f$ here is the maximum transmission rate. Plugging the known; $$f= \frac{(200\times 10^3)}{2}=\color{red}{\bf 10^5}\;\rm pulse/s$$
