    Problem:

    Due to a technical error, two trains were accidently assigned to the same rail track and are now approaching each other. The communication system of both trains is broken and the conductors don't know about the imminent danger they're in.




    By the time a supervisor at one of the offices notices the problem, the trains are only 140 km away from each other. The speed of train A is 160 km/h; the speed of train B is 120 km/h.




    There's a manual switch that could stop both trains from colliding, but the supervisor is 6,300 metres away from it and he needs to get there first. If he runs at an average speed of 14 km/h, will he be in time to save the trains?


    ============================================================




    Correct answer: - YES, he will be in time to save the 2 trains!


    Correct explanation:


    1 -The speed of train A is 160 km/h = 160.000 m/h = 2 667 metres / minute


    2 -The speed of train B is 120 km/h = 120.000 m/h = 2 000 metres / minute


    3 -They are 140 km away from each other and will be in touch in 30 minutes:


    Train A - 30 min x 2 667 m = 80 000 mt = 80 Km

    Train B - 30 min x 2 000 m = 60 000 mt = 60 Km

    80 Km + 60 Km = 140 Km in 30 minutes



    4 - The supervisor is 6,300 metres away, at an average speed of 14 km/h:

    14 Km/h = 14 000 m/h = 233 metres / minute

    6,300 / 233 = 27 minutes



    The supervisor arrived early less 3 minutes than the pervasively trains contact.
