Train I 80 km/h
Train II 110 km/h
Difference in time => 2.00 hours
Train I will have covered 160.00 km when Train II starts
catch up distance= 160.00 km
catch up speed = 110 -80
catch up speed = 30 km/h
Catch up time = catch up distance/catch up speed
catch up time= 5.33
catch up time= 5.33 hours
Train II speed = 110 km/h
Time to catch up = 5.33 hours
D=Speed * time
D= 110 * 5.33
D= 586.67 miles
Train II will catch up when it has traveled 586.67 miles
