Discussion Forum : Problems on Trains - General Questions (Q.No. 30)
30.
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. At what time will they meet?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Suppose they meet x hours after 7 a.m.
Distance covered by A in x hours = 20x km.
Distance covered by B in (x - 1) hours = 25(x - 1) km.
20x + 25(x - 1) = 110
45x = 135
x = 3.
So, they meet at 10 a.m.

Hi Shri,
We can write here
(X-1) b'coz train 'B' starts travelling 1 hr later agains train 'A'.
So, At the end, train B will travel 1 hr short, out of full running time to meet each other. i.e 'X'
So, we can write total time for train 'B' = (X-1)
Thanks
