Question:

Two trains start at the same time from two stations and proceed towards each other at speeds of 90 km/h and 70 km/h, respectively. When they meet, it is found that one train has travelled 140 km more than the other, What is the distance (in km) between the two stations?

Options:

1100

1120

980

1200

Correct Answer:

1120

Explanation:

Ratio of Speed is  9 : 7

We know , Speed is directly proportional to Distance

Ratio of Distance = 9 : 7

According to question ,

( 9 - 7 )R = 140 km

2R = 140 km

1R = 70 km

So , Total Distance = ( 9 + 7 )R = 11R

= 16 × 70

= 1120 km
