Time Distance and Speed
Attul travels from Mumbai to Delhi in rajdhani express at the speed of 15kmph.train starts at 5am.Likewise,Sam travels from Mumbai to Delhi in mumbai express at the speed of 20kmph.train starts at 7am.
At what time both train will meet each other???
Read Solution (Total 8)
-
- Let both the trains meet each other after x hrs after 5 am.
Therefore disance travelled by 1st train in x hrs = Distance travelled by 2nd train (x-2) hrs.
So,
15x=20(x-2)
x=8.
So, the train will meet at (5 am + 8 hrs) i.e. at 1 pm - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(26) No(7)
- let they meet after x h after 7 am
distance cover by atul=distance cover bysam
15(x+2)=20x
15x+30=20x
x=6
7am+6 h=1pm
so ans is 1pm

- 15 (x+2) = 20 x
15x+30 = 20x
5x = 30
x = 6
7+6 = 13

- Distance travel by Attul in 2 hours is 30 km
now at 7am.. ram is yet to start and attual is 30 ahead.
time =relative distance/relative speed
= 30 /(20-15)=6hours
so, 7pm+6hours= 1pm - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- train A can travel 30 km in 2 hrs
now , distance b/w trainA and trainB at 7 am is d= 30 km.
Tmeeting= d/(20-15)= 30/5= 6 hrs - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(10)
- plz specify the distance between mumbai to delhi
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(5)
- distance the gap betwwen atul and sam is 30 km
relative speed 20-15=5 km/hr
so time taken by sam is 30/5=6hr
so 1pm - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- at 7Am atul would have travelled 30 km
at 8am atul's distance=45 km and at 8Am sam'distance=20
at 9 am atul's=60 and sam's=40 km
at 10 am atul's=75 and sam's=60
so as the time increases their distance will coincide when they would have travelled 120 km ie at 1 Pm - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
