Multiple choice

Two trains run from M and N station. Both trains run towards each other at the speed of 54 km/h and 63 km/h respectively. When they meet each other, the second train has traveled 200 km more than the first train. What is the distance (in km) between M and N?

  1. 1200

  2. 1400

  3. 2600

  4. 3000

C Correct answer
Explanation

Let the meeting point be at distance x from M and (x+200) from N (since second train traveled 200 km more). Time to meet is same: x/54 = (x+200)/63. Cross-multiplying: 63x = 54(x+200) = 54x + 10800, so 9x = 10800, x = 1200 km. Distance between M and N = 1200 + 1200 + 200 = 2600 km. Option C is correct.
