      Question

      The distance between stations X and Y is 672 km. A train

      leaves X at 9 a.m. at 64 km/h. Another train leaves Y at 10:30 a.m. towards X at 96 km/h. When will they meet?
      A 1:45 p.m. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2:00 p.m. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 2:06 p.m. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2:12 p.m. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Time gap = 1.5 hrs → Distance = 64 × 1.5 = 96 km
      Remaining = 672 – 96 = 576 km
      Relative speed = 160 km/h
      Time = 576 / 160 = 3.6 hrs = 3h 36m
      Meeting time = 10:30 a.m. + 3h 36m = 2:06 p.m.
