Answer:
Time taken by train 1 from x to y = 4 hours
It travels for 2 hours before train 2 starts.
Time taken by train 2 from y to x = 3.5 hours
Let distance between x & y = LCM(4,3.5) = 28 kms
Speed of Train 1 = 28/4 = 7 kmph
Speed of Train 2 = 28/3.5 = 8 kmph
Train 1 covers 7 x 2 = 14 km by the time Train 2 starts at 7 AM.
So, distance between the two trains at 7 AM is 28 - 14 = 14km
Relative speed = 7 + 8 = 15 kmph
Time taken to cross each other = 14/15 hours or 56 minutes.
=> They meet at 7:56 AM.
Hope it helps.
