A taxi left Los Angeles at 7:50 am travelling 50 kph. At 9 am, an express train travelling 110 kph left the same spot travelled by the taxi.
\n" ); document.write( "Let the taxi and the train meet x hours after 9AM.
\n" ); document.write( "Distance travelled by the taxi = (x+1 10/60)*50
\n" ); document.write( "Distance travelled by the train = x*110
\n" ); document.write( "When they meet, the two distances are equal
\n" ); document.write( " (x+7/6)*50 = 110x
\n" ); document.write( " 50x+350/6 = 110x
\n" ); document.write( " 175/3= 60x
\n" ); document.write( " x = 175/180 hours
\n" ); document.write( " x = (175/180)*60 minutes
\n" ); document.write( " x = 175/3 minutes
\n" ); document.write( " x = 58 min 20 sec
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore they will meet at 9h 58m 20s \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
