let the time taken since 10:00 am till they meet be t hrs
at 10:00 am , train will have already gone 130 miles
when they meet, they both will have traveled the same distance, so ...
90t = 130 + 65t
25t = 130
t = 5.2 hrs or 5 hrs and 12 minutes
that would put the time at 10:00 + 5:12
= 17:12 or 5:12 pm
