Two trains A and B start running at 80 km/h and 82 km/h towards each other from two different stations. They meet after 1 hour and 30 minutes. How far were they from each other when they started?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 243 km.
Given that
Two trains A and B start running at 80 km/h and 82 km/h towards each other from two different stations
They meet after 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Now,
The relative speed of the trains = 82 + 80 = 162 km/h
The distance between the trains in the beginning = relative speed × meeting time = 162 × 1.5 = 243 km
