Two stations B and M are 465 km distant. A train starts from B towards M at 10 AM with a speed of 65 km/hr. Another train leaves from M towards B at 11 AM at a speed of 35 km/hr. Find the time when both trains meet.
The train leaving from B leaves an hour early than the train that leaves from M.
=> Distance covered by train leaving from B = 65 km / hr x 1 hr = 65 km
Distance left = 465 - 65 = 400 km
Now, the train from M also gets moving and both are moving towards each other.
Applying the formula for relative speed,
Relative speed = 65 + 35 = 100 km / hr
=> Time required by the trains to meet = 400 km / 100 km / hr = 4 hours
Thus, the trains meet at 4 hours after 11 AM, i.e., 3 PM.
