Explanation:
Distance = (S1*S2)/[(S1-S2)t] Difference in time = 2Pm – 9AM = 5 hrs
Distance = (25*35)/[(35-25)*5] = 437 ½ km - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(5)
- C. 437 ½ km
Explanation:second train is starting 5 hrs late so when it would be starting, first train would have already covered 25*5 km So let t be the time in which second train reaches first train be t
first Train time will be=t+5
now distance is same for both train so
35*t=25(t+5)
t=12.5
so distance is=437 ½ km
