Train A travelling at 60 km/hr leaves Mumbai for Delhi at 6 pm. Train B travelling at 90 km/hr also leaves Mumbai for Delhi at 9 pm. Train C leaves Delhi for Mumbai at 9 pm. If all the three trains meet at the same time between Mumbai and Delhi, then what is the speed of train C if the distance between Delhi and Mumbai is 1260 km ?

Correct Answer: 120 km/hr
Suppose the three trains meet x hours after 9 pm
Let the speed of train C be y km/hr
Distance travelled by train A in (x + 3) hrs = Distance travelled by train B in x hrs
⇒ 60 (x + 3) = 90x
⇒ 30x = 180
⇒ x = 6
⇒ Also, distance travelled by train B in x hrs + distance travelled by train C in x hrs = 1260 km
⇒ 90x + yx = 1260
⇒ 540 + 6y = 1260
⇒ 6y = 720
⇒ y = 120
Hence, speed of train C = 120 km/hr

Due to the technical snag in the signal system two trains start approaching each other on the same track from two different stations, 240 km away each other. When the train starts a bird also starts moving to and fro between the two trains at 60 kmph touching each train each time. The bird initially sitting on the top of the engine of one of the trains and it moves so till these trains collide. If these trains collide one and half hour after start, then how many kilometers bird travels till the time of collision of trains?

Agra andDelhi are 160 km apart. A train leaves Agra for Delhi and at the same time another train leaves Delhi for Agra. Both the trains meet 5 hrs after they start moving. If the train travelling fromAgra to Delhi travels 6 km/hr faster than the other train, find the speed of the faster train?

Paschim Express left Delhi for Mumbai at 14.30 hrs travelling at a speed of 60 kmph and August Kranti Express left Delhi for Mumbai in the same day at 16.30 hrs travelling at a speed of 80 kmph. How far away from Delhi will the two trains meet (excluding stoppages) ?

Two trains start simultaneously from two stations Howrah and Delhi, respectively towards each other on the same track. The distance between the two stations is 560 km and the speeds of trains are 30 kmph and 40 kmph.Simultaneously with the trains, a sparrow sitting on the top of one of the train starts towards the other and reverses its direction on reaching the other train and so on. If the speed of sparrow is 80 kmph then the distance that the sparrow lies before being crushed between the train is :

What is the speed of the third train?
