B10:00 a.m.

C11:00 a.m.

D11:30 a.m.

Answer:

C. 11:00 a.m.

Read Explanation:

Relative speed opposite direction = Sum of speeds Relative speed = 20 + 30 = 50 km/h Distance covered by 1st Train in 1 hour = 20 km Distance left = 120 - 20 = 100 km Total time = 100/50 = 2 hours They will meet at 8 am + 1 + 2 = 11 am
