    D 6:05 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train P = 16.5 × 18/5 = 59.4 Km/h Speed of train Q = 11.5 × 18/5 = 41.4 Km/h Distance travelled by train P till 1:35 pm = 59.4 × 5/3 = 99 Km Relative speed of trains = 59.4 + 41.4 = 100.8 Km/h Remaining distance to be travelled after 1:35 pm = 555 – 99 = 456 Km Time taken to cover 456 Km = 456/100.8 = 9/2 = 4 hours 30 minutes So the two trains will meet each other at 1:35 + 4:30 = 6:05 pm
