Train A 60 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Train B 80 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Train A passes station at 11:10
\n" ); document.write( "Train B passes station at 11:25
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Difference in time= 00:15 15
\n" ); document.write( "Train Awill have covered 15 miles before Train B
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "catch up distance= 15 miles
\n" ); document.write( "catch up speed = 80 -60 mph
\n" ); document.write( "catch up speed = 20 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Catchup time = catchup distance/catch up speed
\n" ); document.write( "catch up time= 15 / 20
\n" ); document.write( "catch up time= 0.75 hours
\n" ); document.write( "catch up time= 45 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "catch up at 12:10 AM
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
