Bheja Fry question

 Question 


A and B are two stations 390 km apart. One train starts at

 station A  at 10 AM and travels towards B at  65 kmph. Another

 train starts at B at 11 AM and travels towards A at 35 kmph..

 At what time do they meet ??



Answer


Let's represent the time taken by the second train as t hours,


First train leaves one hour before so time taken by first train is t + 1 hours.


We know that distance =  speed  *  time


So,

Distance traveled by first train at 65 kmph is 65  (  t   +  1 )

Similarly distance covered by second train at 35 kmph is 35t hours.


Since they are moving towards each other, distance covered would be added up.


==>>    65  (  t  +  1  )  +   35 t  =  390 km

==>>    65t  +   65 +  35t   =  390

==>>     65t  +   35t   =   390  -   65

==>>    100 t  =  325

==>>  t  =  3.25  hours 


Meeting time is  11 am  +  3.25 hours 

==>>  11 am  +  3 am  =  2  am

==>>  additional 0.25 hours 

==  0.25  × 60  =  15  minutes 

==>>   additional 15  minutes 


Hence both the train meet at 2.15 pm   !!!

Does wrapping a wet cloth around the head, protect from heat wave ??

 As heat wave intensify across India, people are seen wrapping a wet cloth around the head.


This method is often used as quick relief from scorching Sun.


A wet cloth cools the skin through evaporation.  It is similar to how sweating works  !!!


In very high humidity, evaporation slows down.  Here air is already saturated with moisture. Hence, sweat and water evaporates slowly. This method is not so effective.


Wrapping a wet cloth around head offers only the temporary relief. 


Real protection lies in hydration, limiting sun exposure and maintaining cooling strategies.

Countries that rent soldiers instead of having their own army !!!
