\r\n" );
document.write( "The train A is   miles =  miles =  miles =  miles ahead, when the train B starts his move.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The relative speed (B relative A) is 60 - 50 = 10 mph.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, train B diminishes the distance between them at the rate of 10 mph.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, train B will catch up train A in   hours = 2 hours and 5 minutes.       ANSWER\r\n" );
