    from Bengaluru to Chennai and the other travelling from Chennai to Bengaluru, and they proceed towards each other on parallel tracks at 80 km/h and 95 km/h, respectively. When they meet, it is found that one train has travelled 180 km more than the other. What is the distance between Bengaluru and Chennai? 
    A 345 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2100 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 400 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1200 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Given: Train A speed = 80 km/h Train B speed = 95 km/h One train travels 180 km more than the other when they meet Both start at the same time Let time = t hours Distance by Train A = 80t Distance by Train B = 95t Difference in distance = 95t − 80t = 15t So, 15t = 180 t = 180 / 15 = 12 hours Total distance = 80t + 95t = 175t = 175 × 12 = 2100 km
