Time, Speed and Distance

Question:

Distance between A and B is 550 km. Two trains start running towards each other with the speed of 60 km/hr and 50 km/hr respectively. Find the time taken by them to meet each other.

Options:

4 hrs

5 hrs

5.5 hrs

6 hrs

Correct Answer:

5 hrs

Explanation:

Relative speed in opposite direction = 60 + 50 = 110 km/hr

Total Distance = 550 km

Now,

Time = \(\frac{Total\;distance}{Relative\;speed}\) = \(\frac{550}{110}\) = 5 hrs.
