Question

At what time will the second train catch the fish train problem

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

B

680 km

Solution:

Given Train starts at the same time.

Hence,  Time remains constant.

Speed of Train 'T1'  be  'S1' = 40 km\hr

Speed of Train 'T2'  be  'S2' = 45 km\hr

Let X be the distance at which trains meet.

Train T2 travels X+40 km more than Train T1

According to the formula.

Speed=TimeDistance

Time=45X+40

Time=40X

From above two equations.

40X=45X+40

45×X=40×X+40×40

5×X=1600

=320 km

Distance between two Stations = Distance at which train T1 meet + Distance at which Train T2 meet + Distance train T2 travels

                                                    = 320+320+40

                                                    = 680
