2:00pm, 200 km



When the second train leaves Mumbai the first train covers 40 * 1 = 40 km

So, the distance between first train and second train is 40 km at 10.00am

Time taken by the trains to meet 

= Distance / relative speed = 40 / (50 -40) = 4 hours

So, the two trains meet at 2 p.m. The two trains meet 4 * 50 = 200 km away from Mumbai.
