distance travel by nav. exp. in 1 hr.= 50*1 = 50 km
distance travel by hw. ahem. exp. in 1/2 hr = 40*1/2= 20 km
distance will remain before the collision = 30 km
relative speeds of trains (50+40)kmph
so time require before collision= 30/90= 1/3 hr. = 20 min.

we calculate distatnce travelled by both trains till 7-30 am . It comes out to be 50+20=70km. becacuse in half hour second train travels 20 km. so now the distance left between both is 100-70=30... so now time is dist/speed. so time= 30/(50+40)=1/3hour or 1/3*60= 20 min...... ans is 20 min,,,
