Train A 40 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Train B 48 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Train A 05:25
\n" ); document.write( "Train B 05:55
\n" ); document.write( "Difference in time=00:30=> 0.5 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Train A will have covered 20 miles before Train B starts from station
\n" ); document.write( "catch up distance= 20 miles
\n" ); document.write( "catch up speed = 48 -40 mph
\n" ); document.write( "catch up speed = 8 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Catchup time = catchup distance/catch up speed
\n" ); document.write( "catch up time= 20 / 8
\n" ); document.write( "catch up time= 2.5 hours \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add 2 hours 30 minutes to 5:55 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=8:25 am
