Question

Train ‘a' leaves a source station for destination station at 11

a.m., running at the speed of 60 kmph. train b leaves the same source station to the same destination by the same route at 2 p.m. on the same day, running at the speed of 72 kmph. at what time will the two trains meet each other?

Answer 1

Answer:

Time at which the trains will meet each other 2 A.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative speed of the train A and train B = 72 - 60

                                                                    = 12 Km/hour

Relative Time = 2 P.M. - 11 A.M.

                       = 3 hours

So, Relative distance = 3 × 60

                                   = 180 Km

Time after which the both trains meet = 180 ÷ 12

                                                               = 15 hours

Hence., Time at which the trains will meet each other 2 A.M.
