Stations M and N are connected by two separate, straight and parallel rail lines that are 500 miles long. Freight train A and freight train B simultaneously left Station M and Station N, respectively, and each freight train traveled to the other’s point of departure. The two freight trains passed each other after traveling for 4 hours. When the two freight trains passed, which train was nearer to its destination?
(1) At the time when the two freight trains passed, freight train A had averaged a speed of 60 miles per hour.
(2) Freight train B averaged a speed of 130 miles per hour for the entire trip.
I saw the following question in this thread: overview-of-gmat-math-question-types-and-patterns-on-the-gmat-211809.html. It said that the answer is E, but to me...it seems like it's A.
Essentially, the two trains will pass after traveling 500 miles in aggregate. #1 says that train A traveled 240 miles in the 4 hours, so therefore, train B will have traveled 260 miles, and obviously A is nearer to its station. Meanwhile, #2 doesn't help us at all.
So the answer is A, right?
