Question

    Two trains X and Y start at the same time in the opposite direction from two points P and Q and arrive at their destinations 25 and 16 hours respectively after their meeting each other. At what speed does the second train Y travel if the first train travels at 60 km/h.

    A 70 km/hr. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 55 km/hr. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60 km/hr. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 65 km/hr. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 75 km/hr. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed and time of two trains be s1 and s2, and t1 and t2. s1/s2 = (t2/t1)1/2 => 60/s2 = 4/5 => s2 = 75 km/hr.
