Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: 11 A.M.
Explanation: ā Correct Answer: C. 11 A.M. š Explanation: By 9 A.M., the first train has traveled 60 km, leaving a gap of 270 km. Their relative speed when moving toward each other is 60 + 75 = 135 kmph. The time to meet is 270 divided by 135, which is 2 hours. Adding 2 hours to the 9 A.M. starting point of the second train gives a meeting time of exactly 11 A.M.
