At 6:45 the first train already pass 100*45/60 km = 75 km
After 6:45 both trains spent equal time (t hours) until they meet.

So we have 75+100t = 136t
75 = 36t
t=75/36 hours

So total distance = 136* 75/36 = 283,33 km
Answer D

P.S. The distance between Delhi and Mumbai about 1,400 km ;)

Two trains for Mumbai leave Delhi at 6 am and 6.45 am and travel at 100 kmph and 136 kmph respectively. How many kilometers from Delhi will the two trains be together.

A. 260 km
B. 262.4 km
C. 275 km
D. 283.33 km
E. None of these

Distance gained by first train started at 6 am till 6:45 am = 100*(45/60) = 75 km

Relative speed = 136-100=36

Time = relative distance / relative speed = 75/36 hours

distance travelled by first train = 75 +(75/36)*100 = 283.33 km

Answer: Option D

I know this is probably a stupid objection to say. But according to me, we cannot tell when they will be together if at all. What if in 45 mins, train A has already reached Mumbai. We don't know the distance between Delhi and Mumbai do we?


this is a well raised objection and question should be rephrased to avoid this ambiguity. :thumbup:
