उत्तर

3.36 p.m.

Explanation:

Let the distance between station A and station B = d km

Train x covers distance d km in`1 1/2=3/2` hr

∴ Speed of train x`="d"/((3/2))=(2"d")/3` Km/hr

Train y covers distance d km in 1 hr

∴ Speed of the train y`="d"/1` =d km /hr

Let the trains meet x hours after 3 pm

Distance travelled by train x in x hours

`= "x"xx(2"d")/3`km

Distance travelled by train y in x hours

= x × d km

Sum of these distance must be the total distance between station A and B

`"x"xx(2"d")/2+"x"xx"d"="d"`

`"x"+(2"x")/3=1`

`(5"x")/3=1`

`3/5`hr = 36 minutes

So, train eill cross each other at 3.36 p.m.
