    Train ‘M’ and train ‘N’ depart from stations

    ‘A’ and ‘B’ respectively, heading towards each other at the same moment. After 10 hours, they meet. At that point, train ‘N’ had travelled 150 km more than train ‘M’. If the total distance between stations ‘A’ and ‘B’ is 850 km, how far did train ‘M’ go in 6 hours?

    B 260 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 240 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 210 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let distance covered by train ‘M’ at the meeting point = ‘x’ km

    So, distance covered by train ‘N’ = x + 150 km

    According to the question,

    x + x + 150 = 850

    Or, 2x = 700

    Or, x = 350

    Distance travelled by train ‘M’ in 10 hours = 350 km

    Speed of train ‘M’ = 350 / 10 = 35 km/h

    Distance covered by train ‘M’ in 6 hours = 35 × 6 = 210 km
