Two trains leave stations 288 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 95 minutes per hour while the other travels at 85 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet ?
Solution
Relative speed of the two trains = 95 + 85 = 180 miles per hour
So, time take for the two trains to meet = distance / speed
= 288 / 180
= 1.6 hour or 96 minutes
