Two trains start from stations A and B spaced 50kms apart at the same time and speed. As the trains start, a bird flies from one train towards the other and on reaching the second train, it flies back to the first train. This is
repeated till the trains collide. If the speed of the trains is 25 km/h and that of the bird is 100km/h. How much did
the bird travel till the collision.
------------------------
The trains collide after 1 hour.
In 1 hour, the bird flies 100 km.
