The distance between two stations P and Q is 145 km. A train with speed of 25 km/h leaves station at 8 : 00 am towards station Q. Another train with speed of 35 km/h leaves station Q at 9:00 am towards station P. Then, at what time both trains meet ?

- 10 : 00 am
- 11 : 00 am
- 12 : 00 am
- 11 : 30 am
Correct Option: B
First train leaves at 8 :00 am and second at 9:00 am.
So, first train i,e from P to Q has covered 25 km distance in 1 h.
So, distance left between the station = 145 - 25 = 120 km
Now, trains are travelling in opposite directions,
So, relative speed = 25 + 35 = 60 km/h
Time taken to cover 120 km = 120/60 = 2h
∴ The time, at which both the trains will meet, is 2 h after second train left i.e., 9 : 00 am + 2h = 11 : 00 am
