Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:

Time taken by two trains will be 9 hours and 6 hours respectively. So, Let the total distance be LCM of (9 and 6) = 18.

Speed of trains will be 2 km/hr & 3 km/hr.

At 9 am distance between two trains is 14 km

Time taken =   1 4 ( 2 + 3 )  = 2 hours 48 minutes

So, trains will meet at 11:48 am.

It's difficult but in some colleges you may can get 

  a + 5 b  is collinear with c  

  a + 5 b = c           …(1)

b + 6 c is collinear with a  

⇒   b + 6 c = μ a               …(2)

From (1) and (2)

  b + 6 c = μ ( λ c 5 b )          

-> ( 1 + 5 μ ) b + ( 6 λ μ ) c = 0

? b and c
