Train A from Delhi and train B from Chandigarh starts moving towards each other at 1 P.M. Speed of Train A and Train B is 70 km/hr and 80 km/hr respectively. Find at what time they will meet if the distance between Delhi and Chandigarh is 600 km. Correct Answer 5 P.M
Given:
Speed of train A = 70 km/hr
Speed of train B = 80 km/hr
Distance between Delhi and Chandigarh = 600 km
Both train starts at 1 P.M
Concept used:
Relative speed = When two objects are moving towards each other then the relative speed will be the sum of both the speeds
Time = Total distance/Relative speed
Calculation:
Relative speed = (70 + 80) km/hr
⇒ 150 km/hr
Time taken to meet = 600/150 hours
⇒ 4 hours
Time at which both train will meet = 1 P.M + 4 hours
⇒ 5 P.M
∴ Both trains will meet at 5 P.M
