Answer : 4. "12 p.m."
Explanation :
Answer: D) 12 p.m. Explanation: Assume both trains meet after 'p' hours after 7 a.m.Distance covered by train starting from A in 'p' hours = 20p kmDistance covered by train starting from B in (p-1) hours = 25(p-1)Total distance = 200=> 20x + 25(x-1) = 200=> 45x = 225=> p= 5Means, they meet after 5 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 12 p.m.
