Question

A fast train leaves Chennai to Bengaluru and at the same point in time a slow train leaves from Bengaluru to Chennai. The fast train moves at a speed of 60 km /hr and the slow train moves at half of the speed of the fast train. Both these trains meet at a point after some time. Which of these trains are further away from Chennai when they meet? (Do not consider the length of the train)

• A. The fast train is further from Chennai
• B. The slow train is further from Chennai
• C. Both the trains are equidistant from Chennai
• D. None of the option is correct

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

1. The fast train starts from Chennai and the slow train starts from Bengaluru, moving toward each other.
2. Wherever they meet, both trains occupy that exact same point in space at that instant.
3. Since Chennai is a fixed point, the distance from that single shared meeting point to Chennai is one fixed number for both trains.

the correct answer is that both trains are equidistant from Chennai.
