    Question

    Two trains β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ started from station

    β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ towards station β€˜Q’ and β€˜P’ respectively at the same time. When they met after 17 hours, train β€˜B’ has travelled 130 km more than train β€˜A’. Find the distance travelled by train β€˜A’ in 5 hours if distance between both stations is 640 km.
    A 75 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 89 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 66 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let distance travelled by train β€˜A’ at the time of meet = β€˜x’ km So, distance travelled by train β€˜B’ at the time of meet = β€˜x + 130’ km According to question; x + x + 130 = 640 => 2x = 510 => x = 255 Distance travelled by train β€˜A’ in 17 hours = 255 km Speed of train β€˜A’ = 255/17 = 15 km/h Distance travelled by train β€˜A’ in 5 hours = 15 Γ— 5 = 75 km
