    D 380 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance covered by 2nd train in 20 minutes = (20/60) × 40 = 40/3 km Remaining distance = 900 – (40/3) = 2660/3km Time after which they will meet = [(2660/3)/70] hours Distance covered from A in this time = (2660/210) × 30 = 380 km
