Station Q is to the East of Station T. At 12 noon, a train s

Remember 2 things :

I.Two objects moving in the same direction,subtract their speeds, call it \(V_{sd}\)

II.Two objects moving in opposite direction, add their speeds, call it \(V_{od}\)

The distance between them be fixed as D. Thus, as we know that Distance = Speed*Time, for the first case, we have Time taken to meet = \(\frac{D}{V_{sd}}\)

Similarly, for the second case, we have Time = \(\frac{D}{V_{od}}\)

Now, if you want the distance at which they meet, just multiply the time calculated above, fix the reference from which object do you want to calculate the distance, and multiply this time with the speed of that object.

Also, you can refer to this post : cars-p-and-q-started-simultaneously-from-opposite-ends-of-a-159355.html#p1264794


Hope this helps,

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed

Oh I see, they got me on this one.

E for sure

Cheers!

seems easy, but it is actually a good question.
