    Question

    Two trains started from stations ‘A’ and ‘B’ at

    same time and started travelling towards each other at speeds of 65 km/hr and 55 km/hr, respectively. At the time of their meeting, the faster train has travelled 120 km more than the slower train. Find the distance between the stations ‘A and ‘B’.
    A 1400 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1430 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1440 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1480 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distance travelled by slower train be ‘x’ km So, distance travelled by faster train = ‘x + 120’ km ATQ, (x/55) = {(x + 120)/65} Or, 65x = 55x + 6600 Or, 10x = 6600 So, x = 660 Total distance between station ‘A’ and station ‘B’ = (660 + 660 + 120) = 1440 km
