Nope at the end of the 27 th hr...he would be at 28th ft so on 28th hour he goes out........so the answer is 28.

An express train travels from Mumbai to Calcutta at 60kmph and the other passenger train travels from Calcutta to Mumbai at 30kmph. Both start at the same time.........so when they meet who is further....
