Two trains starting at the same time from two-stations 300 km apart and going in opposite directions, cross each other at a distance of 160 km from one of them. The ratio of their speeds is : Correct Answer 8 : 7

A → ___160________Meeting____140_____← BRatio of their distance covered = $$\frac{{160}}{{140}}$$ = 8 : 7Then, Ratio of their speeds = 8 : 7
