Question

Accepted Answer

4:36 p.m.. Take the distance as 3 units: X runs 3 units/h, Y 2 units/h. They close 5 units/h, so they meet after 3/5 h = 36 min → 4:36 p.m.

Train X leaves Meerut at 4 p.m. and reaches Ghaziabad at 5 p.m. Train Y leaves Ghaziabad at 4 p.m. and reaches Meerut at 5:30 p.m. At what time do they cross?
