At 7.00 am Howrah-Ahmedabad Express leaves Baroda towards Ahmedabad and travels at 40 kmph. At 7:30 am Mr. Shah, the traffic controller at Baroda realizes that both trains are running on the same track. How much time does he have to avert a head-on collision between the two trains?
Solution
The distance between Ahmedabad and Baroda is 100 Km

So, at 7 am, the distance between the two trains is 75 Kms and they aretravelling towards each other a relative speed of 50+40=90 Km/hr.
So, time taken them to meet is 75/90*60 = 50 minutes.
