Two trains start at same time from stations A and B, 1800 km apart, and proceed towards each other at an average speed of 44 km/h and 46 km/h, respectively. Where will the trains meet?
Given,
Distance between two stations A and B = 1800 km
Average speed of train that start from station A = 44 km/h
Average speed of train that start from station B = 46 km/h
Both trains are moving in opposite direction
$$=$$>Â Relative Speed = 44+46 = 90 km/h
Time after which they meet = $$\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Relative Speed}}$$
$$=\frac{1800}{90}$$
$$=$$ 20 hr
Distance travelled by train that started from station A in 20 hr = 44 x 20 = 880 km
Distance travelled by train that started from station B in 20 hr = 46 x 20 = 920 km
$$\therefore\ $$Meeting point from station A = 880 km
Meeting point from station B = 920 km
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
