Question : A train starts from a station $P$ for another station $Q$ at 6 p.m. at an average speed of 75 km/h. Another train starts from station $Q$ for station $\mathrm{P}$ at 8 p.m. at an average speed of 105 km/h. If the distance between these two stations is 690 km, then at what time will the two trains meet?
Option 1: 10:30 p.m.

Correct Answer: 11 p.m.
Solution : The first train travels for 2 hours before the second train starts. The distance covered in 2 hours = 2 × 75 = 150 km. The remaining distance between the two trains when the second train starts = 690 – 150 = 540 km. Both trains are moving towards each other. The relative speed = 75 + 105 = 180 km/h We know, $\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{{\text{Speed}}}$ The time taken by two trains = $\frac{540}{180}$ = 3 hrs The two trains will meet 3 hours after the second train starts. i.e. 8 p.m. + 3 hr = 11 p.m. Hence, the correct answer is 11 p.m.
