The distance between two stations A and B is 200 kms. A train runs from A to B at a speed of 75 kmph, while another train runs from B to A at a speed of 85 kmph. What will be the distance between the two trains (in kms) 3 minutes before they meet?
Explanation:
The distance between the trains 3 minutes before meeting can be calculated if we consider the situation in reverse direction.
Let the two trains be standing together and they start moving in opposite directions. The distance between them after 3 minutes = (75 + 85) × 3/60 = 8 kms.
Hence, option (b).
