The time taken by the first and the second train is 1 hour 40 minutes and 1 hour 25 minutes. Then the time when the second train at Niles junction is 5:55 p.m.
<h3>What is speed?</h3>The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.
We know that the speed formula
A train leaves Thorn junction at 1:25 p.m. and arrives in Niles at 3:05 p.m. the train makes two stops along the route for a total of 15 minutes.
A second train leaves Thorn junction at 4:30 p.m. and heads to Niles.
This train does not make any stops.
Let the speed of both trains be equal.
Then the time taken by the first train will be
t₁ = 3:05 p.m. - 1:25 p.m.
t₁ = 1 hour 40 minutes
Then the time taken by the second train will be
t₂ = 1:40 - 00:15
t₂ = 1:25 = 1 hour 25 minutes
The time when the second train is at Niles junction will be
→ 4:30 p.m. + 1:25
→ 5:55 p.m.
