Question

Two stations A and B are 110 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. How many hours after the start, the train which starts from station A, will meet the other train which is coming from station B?

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Suppose they meet x hours after 7 a.m. Distance covered by A in x hours = 20 x km. Distance covered by B in ( x – 1 ) hours = 25 ( x – 1 ) k m 20 x + 25 ( x - 1 ) = 110 45 x = 135 ⇒ x = 3 hr
