BHASKAR MANDAL  (9 years ago)

the train moves for half an hour
=> distance covered by the train = 72*0.5=36km
now the distance covered by the motorcycle in the same direction as train
= 36*0.5 = 18km
so the distance between the two motorcycle is 36-18 = 18km

so the time taken to meet each other
= 18/(36+36) = 18/72 hr = 15 min
so the total time
= 4:00 + 30min +15min
=4:45pm
