Two trains T1 and T2 are travelling from station A and station B respectively in the opposite direction and they are 600 km apart. Train T1 starts from station A with the speed 90 kmph at 9:30 a.m. and train T2 starts station B with the speed 50 kmph at 11:30 a.m. At what time will they cross each other?

In a 100 m race, A beats B by 30 m and in the same race, B beats C by 20 m. By what distance does A beat C?

The following steps are involved in solving the above problem. Arrange them in sequential order.

A The ratio of distance covered by A and B=100:70 and the ratio of distances covered by B and C=100:80.

B When A is at 100 m from the starting point, C will be at 56 m from the starting point.

C A beats C by 100-56, i.e., 44 m.

D The ratio of distances covered by A and C =10070×10080=10056
