two express trains started at the same time from two stations X and Y proceed towards each other at speeds of 75 mph and 45 mph respectively. when they met , it was found that one express train has travelled 340 miles more than the other.what is the distance between the two stations X and Y?

Read Solution (Total 3)

let the distance travel by first train be x
then other train will travel x+340
now from question
(x+340)/75=x/45
i.e x=510m
x+340=850
total distance is 510+850=1360miles

In 1 hr, faster train travels 30 miles more than slower train.

faster train covers 340 miles more in 340/30 = 34/3 hrs

Total distance XY = (75+45)*34/3= 120*34/3= 40*34 = 1360 kms.

s1/s2 =d1d2
so ..
3*D1=5*D2
and...D1=D2 = 340
solving dis ....u will get...
ans=1360
