Answer: B


using the formula for distance, which is distance = speed x time, to find the distance covered by each train in a given time period.

You are then setting the sum of the distances covered by both trains equal to the total distance between P and Q, 

which is 110 km. 

By solving this equation, you find that the trains meet after 3 hours, 

which means they meet at 10 a.m.
