Question 1068432: Distance between A and B railway stations are 300km. Train X takes 12 hours to reach B from A and return back to A. Also the train stops in B for 2 hours. After 10hours train Y departed from A to B with train X's' speed.
What is the distance traveled by train Y when meeting both trains?
What is the time when meeting both trains If train x departed from A at 8.00 A.M?

Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
hrs is the time for a
round trip by X
hrs is the one-way time for X
km/hr is speed for X
------------------------------------------
In hrs, X has been traveling for
hrs, so X is km from B
-------------------------------------------------
So now Y is at A and X is km
from Y and they are headed toward each other at km/hr
----------------------------
Think of this as one of them standing still and the other moving
at the sum of their speeds

hr
---------------------------------------
In hr, Y travels mi
and meets X
-----------------
If X departed at 8:00 AM, then hrs later is
7:00 PM when trains meet ( 1 hr less than 12 hrs later )
-----------------------------------
DEFINITELY get another opinion on this.
I could easily mess this up.
