    A 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 68 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 88 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance travelled by train M = (2x – 30) m Total distance travelled by train N = (x + 30 + x – 30) = 2x m According to question, => (2x – 30)/22 = 2x/28 => 56x – 840 = 44x => 12x = 840 => x = 70 m
