The distance between Delhi and Patna is 360 km. A train starts from Delhi and travels towards Patna at speed of 50 kmph. Another train starts from Patna towards Delhi at speed of 70 kmph. In what time will they meet each other?

The distance between Delhi and Patna is 360 km. A train starts from Delhi and travels towards Patna at speed of 50 kmph. Another train starts from Patna towards Delhi at speed of 70 kmph. In what time will they meet each other? Correct Answer 3 hours

Given:

Distance = 360 km

Speed of train from Delhi to Patna = 50 kmph

Speed of train from Patna to Delhi = 70 kmph

Formula used:

Time = Distance/Speed

Calculation:

The relative speed of trains as they are moving towards each other = (50 + 70) kmph

⇒ 120 kmph

Time = 360/120 = 3

∴ The trains will meet each other after 3 hours

The question below is followed by three statements I, II, and III. You have to determine whether the data given is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of mathematics to choose the best possible answer. A car travels from city P to city Q in T hours with a speed of v km per hour. Distance between cities P and Q is D kilometers. If it increases its speed by 5 kmph it saves some time. Find the actual speed of the car. Statement I: If the car travels from P to Q with its actual speed of v kmph and come back with the speed of v + 5 kmph in 2T – 0.6 hrs Statement II: A bus start form Q at the same time when the car starts from P and the speed of the bus is 50% more than the speed of the car and the bus meets car after covering 60% of the distance Statement III: Distance between PQ is given by D2 – 25D + 200 = 0
