Train A departs from Point A with a velocity of 100 km/h, Train B departs from Point B with a velocity of 200 km/h, and the distance between point A and B is 1200 km. How long will it take for the trains to meet?​

Sagot :

It would take 4 hours for both trains to meet.

Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let t represent the time at which both trains meet, and d represent the distance covered by train A, hence:

For train A:

100 = d / t

t = d/100

For train B:

200 = (1200 - d) / t

t = (1200 - d) / 200

d/100 = (1200 - d)/200

2d = 1200 - d

3d = 1200

d = 400 km

t = 400 / 100 = 4 hours

It would take 4 hours for both trains to meet.
