Solution

Step 1: Calculate the distance covered by Train A from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

Since the speed of Train A is 50 km/hr, in 2 hours (from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon), it will cover a distance of 2 hours * 50 km/hr = 100 km.

Step 2: Calculate the remaining distance between the two trains at 12:00 noon.

The total distance between Bharatpur and Dhooppur is 550 km. If Train A has already covered 100 km, the remaining distance is 550 km - 100 km = 450 km.

Step 3: Calculate the time it takes for the two trains to meet.

Both trains are now moving towards each other, so their combined speed is 50 km/hr (Train A) + 40 km/hr (Train B) = 90 km/hr. To cover the remaining 450 km at this combined speed, it will take 450 km / 90 km/hr = 5 hours.

Step 4: Determine the time of the meeting.

Since it's 12:00 noon and it will take 5 more hours for the trains to meet, the trains will meet at 12:00 noon + 5 hours = 5:00 p.m.
