\n" ); document.write( "Train B Bost New York 9.00 am - 90 mph
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "Train A in 1 hour before train B started has traveled 65 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "Balnce distance = 220 -65 = 155 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "At this point distance = 155 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "travelling towards each other.
\n" ); document.write( "So add the speeds 90+65= 155 mph
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "t = d/r
\n" ); document.write( "t = 155/155 mph
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "t = 1hour after Train B leaves.
\n" ); document.write( "So at 10.00 am they cross each other.\r
