    Question

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

    same time and started travelling towards each other at speeds of 80 km/hr and 70 km/hr, respectively. At the time of their meeting, the faster train has travelled 145 km more than the slower train. Find the distance between the stations ‘A and ‘B’.
    A 2175 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2075 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2275 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2170 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 + 145’ km ATQ, (x/70) = {(x + 145)/80} Or, 80x = 70x + 10150 Or, 10x = 10150 So, x = 1015 Total distance between station ‘A’ and station ‘B’ = (1015 + 1015 + 145) = 2175 km
