Train A leaves Ludhiana for Delhi at 11 am running at a speed of 60 km/hr. Train B leaves Ludhiana for Delhi by the same route at 2 pm on the same day running at a speed of 72 km/hr. At what time will the two trains meet each other? (a) 5 am on the next day (b) 2 am on the next day (c) 5 pm on the next day (d) 2 pm on the next day

Answer»

(a) 5 am on the next day

Distance covered by train A before train B leaves 

Ludhiana = 60 × 3 = 180 km 

Relative speed = (72 – 60) km/hr = 12 km/hr 

∴ Time taken to cross each other = \(\frac{180}{12}\) hrs = 15 hrs

∴ Required time = 2 pm + 15 hrs = 5 am on the next day.
