Practicing Success
Two trains start at same time from two stations towards each other at the speed of 22 km/hr and 18 km/hr . At the time of meeting the faster train covers 120 km more distance than other . Find the distance between two stations . |
1240 km 1200 km 1120 km 1080 km |
1200 km |
Let time of travelling be t hours Distance travelled by train with speed 22 km/hr = 22 × t = 22t Distance travelled by train with speed 18 km/hr = 18 × t = 18t According to question , Difference in distance travelled by two trains = 120 km 22t - 18t = 120 4t = 120 ⇒ t = 30 Distance between two stations is = 22t + 18t = 40 × 30 = 1200 km |
