Question

    Two trains start simultaneously

    from stations X and Y, moving toward each other. The first train travels at a speed of 60 km/h, while the second train moves at 50 km/h. When the two trains meet, the first train has covered 120 km more than the second train. Determine the distance between stations X and Y.
    A 1225 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1665 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1250 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1320 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the distance travelled by slower train = x km The distance travelled by faster train = x + 120 km According to the question, x/50 = (x + 120)/60 60x = 50x + 6000 10x = 6000 x = 600 Total distance = 600 + 600 + 120 = 1320 km
