Question 561062: rains A and B are traveling in the same direction on the parallel tracks. train A is traveling 60 miles per hour and train B is traveling at 70 miles per hour. Train A passed a station at 9:15pm if train B passes the same station at 9:45pm At what time will train B catch up with train A? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Train A 60 mph
Train B 70 mph
Train A 09:15
Train B 09:45
Difference in time= 00:30 => 0.5 hours
Train A will have covered 30 m before Train B starts from station
catch up distance= 30 m
catch up speed = 70 -60 mph
catch up speed = 10 mph
Catchup time = catchup distance/catch up speed
catch up time= 30 / 10
catch up time= 3 hours
