Question

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

    same time and started travelling towards each other at speeds of 75 km/hr and 65 km/hr, respectively. At the time of their meeting, the faster train has travelled 132 km more than the slower train. Find the distance between the stations ‘A and ‘B’.
    A 1808 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1948 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1848 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1818 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 + 132’ km ATQ, (x/65) = {(x + 132)/75} Or, 75x = 65x + 8580 Or, 10x = 8580 So, x = 858 Total distance between station ‘A’ and station ‘B’ = (858 + 858 + 132) = 1848 km
