Answer 1

Answer:

3.36 p.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a train x leaves station a at 3 pm and reaches station b at 4:30 pm while another train starts at station b at 3 pm and reaches station b at 4 pm .theses two trains cross each other at what time

Train A takes 1.5 hours to go from A to B

Train B takes 1 hour to go from A to B

So distance AB is 3 km

Speed of train from A is 2 km/hr and from B it is 3 km/hr

Now time taken by trains to meet each other will be 3 / 2 + 3 = 3/5 = 0.6 hours

 So 0.6 x 60 = 36 minutes after 3 hours.

So it will be 3.36 p.m
