Two trains start at the same time from Stations A and B respectively and travel towards each other at a speed of 60 km/h and 40 km/h, respectively. At the time they meet, the faster train has travelled 60 km more than the slower train. What is the distance between the two stations?

A300 km

B450 km

C360 km

D420 km

Answer:

A. 300 km

Read Explanation:

train A speed = 60kmph

train B speed = 40kmph

total time taken = t

train A faster than 60 km mor than train B

distance traveled by train A = 60t

distance traveled by train B = 40t

60t40t=6060t-40t=60

20t=6020t=60

t=3hrst=3hrs

distance D=60t+40tD=60t+40t

D=60(3)+40(3)D=60(3)+40(3)

D=180+120=300kmD=180+120=300 km
