A. 9:26 am

B. 9:00 am

C. 8:36 am

D. 8:56 am

E. 9:56 am

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Suppose distance between Delhi and Chandigarh is 28 kms.
Then speed of first train = 28/4= 7 kmph
speed of 2nd train = 28/3.5= 8 kmph

If trains met after t hours from 6 AM, then
7t + 8*(t-2) = 28
15t = 44
t = 44/16 hours = 2 hrs 56 mins.
