Question #1 Report Error
Two trains start from stations A and B and travel towards each other at speeds of 50 km/h and 60 km/h respectively. At the time of their meeting, the second train has traveled 120 km more than the first. Find the distance between A and B.
A. 1500 km
B. 1200 km
C. 1320 km
D. 1440 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let the time they travel before meeting be t hours. Distance difference = 60t - 50t = 10t = 120 km => t = 12 hours. Total distance = (50 + 60) * t = 110 * 12 = 1320 km.
