Two trains start at same time from two stations and proceed towards each other at the rate of 20 km/hr and 25 km/hr respectively. When they meet, it is found that one train has traveled 55 km more than the other. What is the distance between the two stations?  Select:  A) 540 km  B) 495 km  C) 276 km  D) 178 km  E) 176 km
Explanation:   Let us assume that trains meet after 'x' hours   Distance = speed * Time   Distance traveled by two trains = 20x km and 25x km resp.   As one train travels 55 km more than the other,   25x â€“ 20x = 55   5x = 55   x = 11hours   As the two trains are moving towards each other, relative speed = 20 + 25=

45 km/hr   Therefore, total distance= 45*11=

<output>495</output>
495 km.   ANSWER: 495 km
