    Question

    Two trains, 'P' and 'Q', begin their journey from

    stations 'A' and 'B' at the same time, heading towards each other. The total distance between stations 'A' and 'B' is 800 km. Train 'P' travels at a speed of 16 km/h, while train 'Q' travels at a speed of 48 km/h. What is the distance from station 'A' to the point where the two trains will meet?
    A 200 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 180 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 320 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 240 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distance from ‘A’ where two trains will meet each other be ‘x’ km Therefore, (x/16) = (800 – x)/48 Or, 3x = 800 – x Or, 4x = 800 Or, x = 200 Therefore, both trains will cross each other at a distance of 200 km from station ‘A’.
