    B 4:25 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5:05 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:45 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 6:05 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train P = 15 × 18/5 = 54 Km/h Speed of train Q = 10 × 18/5 = 36 Km/h Distance travelled by train P till 1:35 pm = 54 × 5/3 = 90 Km Relative speed of trains = 54 + 36 = 90 Km/h Remaining distance to be travelled after 1:35 pm = 450 – 90 = 360 Km Time taken to cover 360 Km = 360/90 = 4 hours So the two trains will meet each other at 1:35 + 4 = 5:35 pm
