Question

    Two trains started from stations ‘A’ and ‘B’ at same time and started travelling towards each other at speeds of 30 km/hr and 20 km/hr, respectively. At the time of their meeting, the faster train has travelled 200 km more than the slower train. Find the distance between the stations ‘A and ‘B’.

    A 1100 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1200 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1000 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1300 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distance travelled by slower train be ‘x’ km So, distance travelled by faster train = ‘x + 200’ km ATQ, (x/20) = {(x + 200)/30} Or, 30x = 20x + 4000 Or, 10x = 4000 So, x = 400 Total distance between station ‘A’ and station ‘B’ = (400 + 400 + 200) = 1000 km
