Given that distance between two stations is 110km.
First trains speed is 20kmph and starts at 7 am
2nd trains speeed is 25kmph and starts at 8 am.

So at 8 am, the distance covered by first train is 20 kms.
Now remaining distance to cover is (110-20 = 90 km).

The relative speed of both the trains is 20+45 = 45 kms.
So it will take 2 hours to cover 90 km.
Hence the trains will meet after 2 hours from 8am i.e. at 10 am.
