Question 929115: Train A and Train B are 100 km apart. They leave at the same time traveling on the same track towards each other, and take the same amount of time to get to maximum speed. Train A travels at 60 kph. Train B travels at 100 kph. At what distance from the A Station will Train B pass Train A?

relative speed of the two trains:
60 + 100 = 160 kph
---
s = d/t
t = d/s
---
time when the two trains meet:
t = 100 / 160
t = 0.625 hour
---
distance from station A when the trains meet:
d = st
d = 60 * 0.625
d = 37.5 km
