Speeding Train



          The distance between Bangalore to Mysore is about 60 miles. Two trains leave at 10 in the morning. One train leaves Bangalore at 40 mph and the other from Mysore at 50 mph. When they meet are they nearer to Bangalore or Mysore? 

Answer:     The train leaving Mysore travels faster, and naturally they meet and cross one another nearer to Bangalore.

          The meeting place is 40/90 of 60 or 26 – 2/3 miles from Bangalore and 50/90 of 60 or 33-1/3 miles from Mysore, and this happens at 10-40 A.M.
