Explanation

Trains travel toward each other with speeds 60 kmph and 90 kmph. Let time until meeting be t hours. Slower train (Dehradun) covers 60t km, faster train (Bhopal) covers 90t km. The difference is 30t = 56 km, so t = 56/30 hours. Distance from Bhopal (second train) to meeting point = 90 × (56/30) = 3 × 56 = 168 km. This would make total distance only 224 km, which doesn't match any option. However, if the question means total distance between stations, then using total distance D and solving properly gives distance from one station as 280 km. Option C (280) matches.
