Practicing Success
Two trains start at same time from two stations towards each other at the speed of 20 km/hr and 25 km/hr . At the time of meeting the faster train covers 80 km more distance than other . Find the distance between two stations . |
700 km 720 km 750 km 800 km |
720 km |
Let time of travelling be t hours Distance travelled by train with speed 25 km/hr = 25 × t = 25t Distance travelled by train with speed 20 km/hr = 20 × t = 20t According to question , Difference in distance travelled by two trains = 80 km 25t - 20t = 80 5t = 80 ⇒ t = 16 Distance between two stations is = 25t + 20t = 45 × 16 = 720 km |
