Chennai express left Hyderabad for Chennai at 14 : 30 hours, travelling at a speed of 60 kmph and Charminar Express left Hyderabad for Chennai on the same day at 16 : 30 hours, travelling at a speed of 80 kmph. How far away from Hyderabad will the two trains meet?

Correct Answer: 480 kms

Explanation:

Now, the distance covered by Chennai express in 2 hrs = 60 x 2 = 120 kms


Let the Charminar Express takes 't' hrs to catch Chennai express


=> 80 x t = 60 x (2 + t)


=> 80 t = 120 + 60t


=> t = 6 hrs


 


Therefore, the distance away from Hyderabad the two trains meet = 80 x 6 = 480 kms.
