Question #3 Report Error
Two points P and Q are 210 km apart. Train A leaves P for Q at 50 km/h at 10:00 AM. Train B leaves Q for P at 70 km/h at 11:00 AM. At what time will they pass each other?
A. 12:40 PM
B. 12:20 PM
C. 12:00 PM
D. 1:00 PM

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
By 11:00 AM, Train A covers 50 km * 1 hour = 50 km. Remaining distance = 210 - 50 = 160 km. Relative speed = 50 + 70 = 120 km/h. Time to meet after 11:00 AM = 160 / 120 = 4/3 hours = 1 hour 20 minutes. Meeting time = 11:00 AM + 1 hour 20 minutes = 12:20 PM.
