Two trains start at the same time from two stations and proceed towards each other at speeds 88 Km/h and 75 Km/h, respectively. When they meet, it is found that one train has travelled 65 Km more than the other. What is the distane(in Km) between the two stations?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 815.
Let the time of travel be t hours.
Distance by Train 1 = 88t
Distance by Train 2 = 75t
88t − 75t=65
⇒13t = 65
⇒t = 5 hours
Total distance = 88t + 75t = (88+75) × 5 = 163 × 5 = 815 km
