    B 4:25 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5:05 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:45 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train P = 25.5 × 18/5 = 91.8 Km/h Speed of train Q = 20.5 × 18/5 = 73.8 Km/h Distance travelled by train P till 1:35 pm = 91.8 × 5/3 = 153 Km Relative speed of trains = 91.8 + 73.8 = 165.6 Km/h Remaining distance to be travelled after 1:35 pm = 620 – 153 = 467 Km Time taken to cover 467 Km = 467/165.6 = 17/6 = 2 hours 50 minutes So the two trains will meet each other at 1:35 + 2:50 = 4:25 pm
