Question

Bombay Express left Delhi for Bombay at $14:30$ hours travelling at a speed of $60$ km/hr and Rajdhani Express left Delhi for Bombay on the same day at $16:30$ hours travelling at a speed of $80$ km/hr. How far from Delhi will the two trains meet?

• A. $120$ km
• B. $360$ km
• C. $480$ km
• D. $500$ km

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$480$ km

Let the trains meet at a distance of x km from Delhi. Then, $\frac{x}{60}-\frac{x}{80}=2\Rightarrow 4x-3x=480$
$\Rightarrow x=480km$
