Two stations, A and B are 827 km apart from each other. One train starts from station A at 5 a.m. and travel towards station B at 62 km/h. Another train starts from station B at 7 a.m. and travel towards station A at 59 km/h. At what time will they meet
- 1 p.m.
- 11:45 a.m.
- 12:30 a.m
- 11:30 a.m.
- 1:30 p.m.
- Explanation:
One train starts from station A at 5 a.m. and travel towards station B at 62 km/h.
Distance covered in 2 hours = 2×62
=124 km
Remaining distance = 827-124
= 703 km
According to question,
62+59 = 703/t
t=703/121
t = 5 98/121 hours
Hence, they meet at [7+5 98/121] = 12 98/121 p.m.
= 1 p.m.
