      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Distance between the two trains when second train starts = 90 × 1.75 = 157.5 km

      Relative speed = 120 − 90 = 30 km/h

      Time taken to overtake = 157.5 / 30 = 5.25 hours = 5 hours and 15 minutes
      ‘Required time = 7:00 AM + 5 hours 15 minutes = 12:15 PM
