A train P start from Mokama at 5:00 pm reached Hazipur at 6:00 pm. An another train Q starts from Hazipur at 5:00 pm and reaches Mokama at 6:30 pm. At what time, two trains will cross each other?

Let the distance between Mokama and Hazipur be D km
Time taken by train P to cover D km = 1 h
Time taken by Q to cover D km = 3/2 h
? Speed of train P = D km/h
Speed of train Q = 2D/3 km/h .
Let they cross each other T h after 5 : 00 pm.
Then, DT + 2DT/ 3 = D
? T + 2T/3 = 1
? T(1 + 2/3) = 1
? T = 3/5h = (3/5) x 60 = 3 x 12 = 36 min.

Hence, the two trains meet 36 min after 5 : 00 pm.
? Meeting time = 5:36 pm
