The distance between two stations, A and B, is 575 km, A train from station ‘A’ at 3.00 p.m and moves towards station ‘B’ at an average speed of 50 km/h. Another train starts from station ‘B’ at 3.30 p.m and moves towards station ‘A’ at an average speed of 60 km/h, how far from station ‘A’ will the trains meet? Correct Answer 275 km

The distance between two stations, A and B = 575 km,

Speed of first train = 50 km/hr

Speed of second train = 60 km/hr

Distance covered by first train in 30 min (1/2 hr) = 50 × 1/2 = 25 km

Remaining distance = 575 - 25 = 550 km

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

As we know,

Time = Distance/speed

Both train meet each other in = 550/110 = 5 hrs

Distance covered in 5 hrs by first train = 5 × 50 = 250 km

Total distance covered by first train = 25 + 250 = 275 km

Both trains meet each other 275 km far from station A.

There is only one rail track between stations A and B on a railway line. One hour after the northbound superfast train N leaves station A for station B, the southbound passenger train S reaches station A from station B. The speed of superfast train is twice that of express train E, while the speed of passenger train S is half of that of train E. On some one day train N leaves from station A to station B 20 minutes late than its usual schedule. Both Train N and Train S have increased their speed to maintain the schedule as per the table. If the superfast train doubles its speed, then what should be the ratio (approximately) of the speed of the passenger train to the speed of the superfast train so that the passenger train reaches the station on that day at the exact scheduled time.

Due to the technical snag in the signal system two trains start approaching each other on the same track from two different stations, 240 km away each other. When the train starts a bird also starts moving to and fro between the two trains at 60 kmph touching each train each time. The bird initially sitting on the top of the engine of one of the trains and it moves so till these trains collide. If these trains collide one and half hour after start, then how many kilometers bird travels till the time of collision of trains?
