Two stations A and B, 100 km far away to each other. Two trains starts at the same time from station A and station B. The train starts from station A is running with the speed of 50 km/h to station B. The train starts from station B is running with the speed of 75 km/h to station A. At what distance both the trains meet with each other from station A?

A) 40 km
B) 20 km
C) 30 km
D) None of these

Correct Answer:

A) 40 km

Description for Correct answer:

Let both the trains meet to each other x km from station A. Then,

\( \Large \frac{x}{50}=\frac{100-x}{75} \)

\( \Large 3x = 200 - 2x \)

\( \Large 5x = 200 \)

Therefore, x = 40 km.
