Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
Suppose, the distance between Meerut and Ghaziabad is x km.
 
Time taken by X to cover x km = 1 hour.
 
Time taken by Y to cover x km =
3
2
 hours.  
 
 
   Speed of X = x kmph, Speed of Y =  
2x
3
   kmph.    
 
Let them meet y hours after 4 p.m. Then,
 

xy +

2xy

 = x
 
y   1 +

   = 1
 
y =

 hours =

 x 60    min = 36 min.    
 
So, the two trains meet at 4.36 p.m.
