I cant seem to solve this problem.
A train leaves point A at 5 am and reaches point B at 9 am. Another train leaves point B at 7 am and reaches point A at 10:30 am.When will the two trains meet ? Ans 56 min
Here is where i get stuck. I know that when the two trains meets the sum of their distances travelled will be equal to the total sum , here is what I know so far
Time traveled from A to B by Train 1 = 4 hours
Time traveled from B to A by Train 2 = 7/2 hours
Now if S=Total distance from A To B and t is the time they meet each other then
$\text{Distance}_{\text{Total}}= S =\frac{St}{4} + \frac{2St}{7} $
Now is there any way i could get the value of S so that i could use it here. ??
