    C 2:55 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:45 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 4:05 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train P = 45 × 18/5 = 162 Km/h Speed of train Q = 30 × 18/5 = 108 Km/h Distance travelled by train P till 1:35 pm = 162 × 5/3 = 270 Km Relative speed of trains = 162 + 108 = 270 Km/h Remaining distance to be travelled after 1:35 pm = 635 – 270 = 365 Km Time taken to cover 365 Km = 365/270 = 4/3 = 1 hours 20 minutes So the two trains will meet each other at 1:35 + 1:20 = 2:55 pm
