Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 6 pm Let the normal train be train A and the express train be train B From 10 am to 2 pm distance travelled by train A = 4 × 60 = 240 km Let the train A moves a distance of x km after 2 pm before they meet , Now the express train B have to travel (240 + x) km in the same time as the time taken by train A to travel x km ; ⇒ (240 + x)/120 = x/60 ⇒ 240 + x = 2x ⇒ x = 240 km V time taken to travel 240 km by train A = 240 /60 = 4hr ⇒ They meet 4 hr after 2pm i.e. 6pm |
