Q:

Two stations A and B are 200 km apart on a straight track. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet?

A) 12 a.m. B) 1 p.m.
C) 11 a.m. D) 12 p.m.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 12 p.m.

Explanation:

Assume both trains meet after 'p' hours after 7 a.m.
Distance covered by train starting from A in 'p' hours = 20p km
Distance covered by train starting from B in (p-1) hours = 25(p-1)
Total distance = 200
=> 20x + 25(x-1) = 200
=> 45x = 225
=> p= 5
Means, they meet after 5 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 12 p.m.
