Two trains leaving from two station 50 miles away from each other with constant speed of 60 miles pe..

Answer / Muneesh Chandra

The total time taken for the two trains to pass each other is approximately 30 minutes (0.5 hours). Since both trains are moving towards each other, their combined speed is 120 miles per hour. The initial distance between the two stations is 50 miles, and since each train has a length of 1/6 mile, when they meet, there will still be a gap of 49 miles (50 - 1) between them. This means that the total distance covered by both trains before passing each other is: 50 miles (initial distance) + 2 * 1/6 miles (train lengths) = 83.333... miles. Solving for time, we get: Time = Distance / Speed, which gives us approximately 30 minutes.
