Explanation:

When the second trains leaves Mumbai the first train covers 40 × 1 = 40 km
So, the distance between first train and second train is 40 km at 10:00 am
Time taken by the trains to meet
= Distance /Relative speed
= 40 /50 - 40 = 4 hours
So, the two trains will meet 4 × 50 = 200 km away from Mumbai at 2 p.m.
