    D 95 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance travelled by train M = (2x – 34) m Total distance travelled by train N = (x + 34 + x – 34) = 2x m According to question, => (2x – 34)/15 = 2x/20 => 40x – 680 = 30x => 10x = 680 => x = 68 m
