Two trains, running between Bangalore and Chennai, start at the same time from their respective locations and proceed towards each other at the speed of 80km/h and 95km/h. When they meet, it is found that one train has travelled 180km more than the other.The distance between Bangalore and Chennai is _______.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the time of traveling = a hours
Distance traveled by train with speed 80 km/h = 80 × a
Distance traveled by train with speed 95 km/h = 95 × a
According to the question,
Difference in distance traveled by two train = 180 km
95 a - 80 a = 180
15 a= 180
a = 12 hours
Distance between stations = 80 ×12 + 95 × 12 = 960 + 1140 = 2100km
Hence, the distance between Bangalore and Chennai is 2100 km .
