Town P and Q are 265 km apart.
\n" ); document.write( " Car A started from P at 60 km/hr at 8.00 am towards Q.
\n" ); document.write( " Car B started from Q at 40 km/hr at 10.00 am. B stopped for half an hour.
\n" ); document.write( " A stopped for 28 minutes at town S which is at a distance of 210 km from P.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the time at which B crossed A.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "P-A>----------------210 km-----------------------S---------55 km----------< B - Q
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let's find the time that each of them arrives at S, and see where we are at
\n" ); document.write( "A: 210/60 = 3.5 hrs to S
\n" ); document.write( "A started at 8:00, so arrives at 11:30
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "B: 55/40 = 1.375 hrs which is 1 hr 22.5 min travel time to S
\n" ); document.write( "B stopped for a half hour so let's assume it left at 10:30
\n" ); document.write( "10:30 + 1:22.5 = 11:52.5 arrives at S
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A is already there waited for 22.5 min when B arrives
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A meets S at 11:52.5
\n" ); document.write( ":
