Solution
as it is given that train which starts at M at 6 am has a speed of 63 km/hr So distance covered till 7 am = 63 km
Now the remaining distance between M and N is = 287 km
Now a train also starts from N towards M with a speed of 77 km/hr .
Relative speed = 140 km/hr
Time taken to cover the remaining 287 km is = $\frac{287}{140}$ = 2hours 3 min
And hence both trains will meet at 9.03 am
