Distance travel by train starting from chittagong till 4:00 is 160/3 remaining distance that is 1190/3 they will cover in the ratio of their speed that 3:4. Distance from Dhaka they meet
= 1190/3×3/7
= 170 km

In questions involving objects starting at different times, it is better to normalize the start time. In other words, in this particular example, calculate the distance between the trains at 4pm. By that time, train from Chittagong has traveled for 40 mins and has covered 160/3 kms. Therefore, the distance left is: 450 - 160/3 = 1190/3 kms
Now, since trains are moving towards each other, relative speed is the sum of two speeds i.e. 140 km/hr. Therefore, time taken to meet = (1190/3) / (140) hr
In this time, train from Dhaka has traveled a distance of : 60 km/hr * (1190/3)/140 hr = 170 kms
Hope that helps.
