      Question

      Two trains start at the same time from A and B and move

      towards each other at the rates of 10km/h and 27 km/h, respectively. When they meet, it is found that one train has travelled 340 km more than the other. The distance between A and B is ______.
      A 740 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 786 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 486 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 589 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Relative speed = 10km / h + 27km / h = 37km / h ย  If they meet after t hours Total distance = 10t + 27t ย  According to the question (27t) - (10t) = 340 17t = 340 t = 20 Substituting the value of t in the above equations Total Distance = 10 ร— 20 + 27 ร— 20 = 740km. The distance between A and B is 740 km.
