Question 62

Two trains starting all the same time from two stations 240 km apart and going in opposite directions cross each other at a distance of 160 km from one of the stations. What is the ratio of their speeds?

Solution

Distance between two stations = 240 km

Their meeting point is 160 km from one of the stations.

So, one train travels 160 km and other train travels 240 - 160 = 80 km.

Since, distance travelled by one train is double of the distance travelled by another train at the same time.ย 

Hence, the ratio of speed will be = 2: 1 or 1: 2
