Given that Q takes 4 hrs to meet train which is starting from P and Takes 6 hrs to reach P.
Hence we can say that P has traveled 2/3rd of the distance. It means train starting from P has traveled 1/3rd of the Distance in 4 hrs.
Total Time taken by Train Starting from P= 4*3=12 hrs.

Now the second condition is given which is P reduces its speed and reaches 200 min late.
Now, Total time taken by P=12 hrs + 200 min= 920 minutes .

The other train still takes 360 min
So their speed ratio is 920:360=23:9
So the faster one travels 23/32 distance when they meet which will take 23*360*60/32 sec=15525 secs= 4 hr 18 min 45 secs
Which is 12:18:45
