Question

    Two trains start from stations M and N at the same time

    and travel towards each other at speeds of 90 kmph and 75 kmph, respectively. At the time of their meeting, the first train has traveled 180 km more than the second. Find the distance between the stations M and N.
    A 2340 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1250 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2520 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2450 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the distance traveled by the slower train = x km The distance traveled by the faster train = x + 180 km According to the question, x/75 = (x + 180)/90 90x = 75x + 16200 15x = 16200 x = 1080 km Total distance = 1080 + 1080 + 180 = 2340 km
