Question

    Two trains, A and B, start from two stations 240 km

    apart at the same time. Train A travels at 60 km/h and Train B travels at 40 km/h. After how much time will the two trains meet?
    A 3 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3.5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2.4 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4.5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Relative speed of the trains = 60 km/h + 40 km/h = 100 km/h. The distance between the two trains is 240 km. Time taken to meet = Distance / Relative speed = 240 / 100 = 2.4 hours. Correct option: c
