Till 1 AM total time is 8hr Difference of speeds is 75 - 60 = 15 kmph and 1st train already 120 kms ahead of 2nd one. So 2nd train has to cover that extra 120 km. So 120/15 =8hr

CONCEPT: When the trains meet each other, distance travelled by them is same. Time taken by second train is 2 hours less than the first train. CALCULATIONS: Equate the distances 60t=75(t-2) 60t=75t-150 t=10hrs So distance will be, s = 60x10=600km 0r s=75x(10-2)=75x8=600km

After 8 hours, i.e., 1 AM (Next day). Difference of their speeds is 75 - 60 = 15 kmph and 1st train already 120 kms ahead of 2nd one. So 2nd train has to cover that extra 120 km. So 120/15 = 8 hrs.

I am more a mentor than just a tutor so I teach students how to become a self-learner.

Let the distance at which the 2 trains meet from station A be x Km. Time taken for 1st train to cover distance x Km = x/60 hr. Time taken for 2nd train to cover distance x Km = x/75 hr 2nd train takes (5pm-3pm) = 2 hrs less than 1st train to cover x Km. i.e., x/60 - x/75 = 2 or, 5x-4x = 2 . 300 or,...

Distance =speed ×time X=75×T And by 1st train X=60(T+2) X=60T+120 NOW. 75T=60T+120 15T=120 T=8 hours So 2nd train will be travelled distance in 8 hours =75×8 =600km And 1st train will be travelled distance in 10 hours =60×10 =600km Hence after travelling 600km both trains will be together read less

Let the point where they meet be A and time taken by the 2nd train to reach point A be 'x' hrs. Therefore, the time taken by 1st train to reach point A - (x+2) hrs. As both are starting from the same station and reaching the same point, the distance traveled by both is same. Distance = speed * time. Distance...

Let the point where they meet be A and time taken by the 2nd train to reach point A be 'x' hrs. Therefore, the time taken by 1st train to reach point A - (x+2) hrs. As both are starting from the same station and reaching the same point, the distance traveled by both is same. Distance = speed * time. Distance traveled by train 1 = Distance traveled by train 2 So, speed of train1 * time taken by train1= speed of train2 * time taken by train2 60 * (x+2) = 75 * x. 60x+120 = 75x 15x = 120 x= 8 hrs. As we have assumed 'x' to be the time taken by the second train to reach point A, the distance between the station and point A is 8 *75 = 600km. To reach point A train 1 would take 10 hours. read less

Ananya, here is the solution Given : Both trains are moving in same direction and second train started 2hrs late. Asked : After travelling for how many Kilometers will the trains meet? Solution: Since both the trains have started at same point(station A) and will meet at a distance, they are expected to travel equal distance. Assuming t as the number of hours they travelled, Using the formula : Distance=Speed x Time, => D1 = D2 2(60) + t(60) = t(75) 75t - 60t = 120 15t = 120 t= 120/15 = 8hrs Now applying t=8, the distance travelled by first train = 2(60)+8(60) = 600 Km or, the distance travelled by second train = 8(75) = 600 Km Answer: The two trains meet after travelling a distance of 600Km. read less

The average fees of tuetion depends upon the following factors : (1) Cost of time (2) Quality of teaching ( It is co-factor between students and a teacher) (3) Total number of students in a class ( may be 1 or it may be 30 or more ?) (4) Overhead expenses incurred by the teacher ( like electricity charges, AC Charges, cost of stationary etc.) (5) Rent if any paid by the teacher (6) Investment made and running cost of the same for running the class ( Cost of Books purchased , furniture and fixtures , black Board,, Computers , Projectors , lighting etc.) (7) days per week ( may be 3 days or 4 days or 6 days ?) so there may be other factors directly or indirectly influencing the quantum of fees. Moreover, the exact amount of fees cannot be predicted because the ultimate factor is demand and supply ratio which decides the fees case to case basis and locationwise as per theory of economics. Please write you views in this matter. Thanks
