Q.

Two stations P and Q are 110 km apart on a straight track. One train starts from P at 7 a.m. and travels towards Q at 20 kmph. Another train starts from Q at 8 a.m. and travels towards P at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet?

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Assume both trains meet after x hours after 7 am Distance covered by train starting from P in x hours = 20x km Distance covered by train starting from Q in (x-1) hours = 25(x-1) Total distance = 110 => 20x + 25(x-1) = 110 => 45x = 135 => x= 3 Means, they meet after 3 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 10 am
