    A 115 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance travelled by train M = (2x – 40) m Total distance travelled by train N = (x + 40 + x – 40) = 2x m According to question, => (2x – 40)/20 = 2x/25 => 50x – 1000 = 40x => 10x = 1000 => x = 100 m
