Question:

Two trains start at same time from stations A & B 2500 kms apart, and proceed towards each other at an average speed of 53 km/h and 47 km/h respectively, where will the trains meet?

Options:

1235 kms from station A

1400 kms from station B

1325 kms from station A

1525 kms from station B

Correct Answer:

1325 kms from station A

Explanation:

Relative speed = 53 + 47 = 100 km/h

T = \(\frac{D}{S}\) = \(\frac{2500}{100}\) = 25 h

From 'A'  =  53 × 25 = 1325 km

From 'B'  =  47 × 25 = 1175 km
