    C 140 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 141 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 143 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of train A = 24 kmph Speed of train B = 36 kmph Time taken by train A to meet train B at 11 AM = 3 hrs Time taken by train B to meet train A at 11 AM = 2 hr Distance travelled by train A = 3 × 24 = 72 km Distance travelled by train B = 2 × 36 = 72 km Therefore, total distance between X and Y = 72 + 72 = 144 km
