Answer:

Well having the given information

2 pm is when the first trian leaves or (a)

5 pm is when the second train leaves (b) since 3 hours later

Now train a travels 50mph

Whilst train b travels 60 mph

Train b is 3 hours behind so a is already at the 150 miles mark.

Now we just find when train B catches up with A

60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, 480, 540, 600

150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600

Well 600  when they meet up at the same time

So in this scenario it’s starting 5pm and there are 10 hours

Now we just add 10 hours to 5pm

3am
