Solution

Time taken by each train is 10 hr.
Assume that speed of each train is x kmph.
So total distance travelled is 10 x km
At 11 am kazipet to Bangalore train travels 6x km distance of 10x km, that 3/5th of its distance where Bangalore to kazipet train travels distance 4x km distance of 10x km.
that is 2/5 of total distance (6x+4x=10x)
At this point they meet together i.e; 11:00 am.
