Question

    There are two trains A and B. A start from point

    X at 5 AM towards point Y. Another train B starts at 6 AM from point X. If they meet at 10 AM and speed of A is 25 km/hr, while that of B is 33 km/hr. Find distance between X and Y.
    A 320 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 257 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 204 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 205 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 244 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train A = 25 kmph
    Speed of train B = 33 kmph
    Time taken by train A to meet train B at 10 AM = 5 hrs
    Time taken by train B to meet train A at 10 AM = 4 hrs
    Distance travelled by train A = 5 × 25 = 125 km
    Distance travelled by train B = 4 × 33 = 132 km
    Therefore, total distance between X and Y = 125 + 132 = 257 km
