RE: 5. Trains leave from New York to Washington every ...

THE NUMBER OF TRAINS GOING FROM WASHINGTON TO NEWYORK MEETS THE TRAINS ARRIVING FROM NEW YORK ARE: 6

IF WE CONSIDER EACH TRAIN STARTING FROM NEW YORK N WASHINGTON AT 1:00 PM THEY WILL MEET EACH OTHER AT 3:30PM

THE TRAIN STARTING AT 1:30 TOWARDS NY 4M WASHINGTON MEETS AT 4:00PM

SIMILARLY THE TRAINS STARTING 4M WASHINGTON TO NY AT TIMES 2:00 2:30 3:00 3:30 4:00 4:30 WILL MEET THE TRAIN WHICH HAD STARTED FOR WASHINGTON FROM NY AT 1:00 PM AT TIMES 4:30 5:00 5:30 6:00

RE: 5. Trains leave from New York to Washington every ...
Hi all Acc to me the answer is 21. assume that a train starts from NY to Washington at 12:00 in the noon. It will meet the train that started from Washington 5hrs earlier at the station itself i:e the train tat started from Washington at 7 in the morning. After 1/2 hr it will meet the train tat started at 7:30 from Washington this way it will meet trains that started from Washington between 7:00Am- 5:00Pm...and this way it will meet 21 trains.Regards Sravya :)

RE: 5. Trains leave from New York to Washington every ...

hey guys i think u all messed up in understanding the questions.

please note the questions carefully.

5. Trains leave from New York to Washington every hour on the hour (1:00 2:00....).Trains leave from Washington to New York every hour on the hour and half hour (1:00 1:30 2:0 2:30....).It takes a train 5 hrs to complete its journey from Washington to New York as well as from New York to Washington. A train leaves from New York to Washington. Find out how many trains it will meet before it reaches Washington.

please note that bold words. there is a train from washin to new york leav

for every hour and half hour. so during one hour the number of train left washington is 2+1+2 5. so 5 trains will leave washington during every hour.
