Two trains start at the same time from two point P and Q and proceed towards each other at the speed of 75 km/hr and 100 km/hr respectively. When they meet, it is found that first train has travelled 125 km less than the second train. Find the distance between point P and Q.
- a)1365 km
- b)540 km
- c)560 km
- d)875 km
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Let the distance travelled by first train till the point they meet be X km. Since the second train travelled 125 Km more than the first one, thus
Distance travelled by second train when they meet = X + 125
We know that, Time = Distance/Speed
We know that both trains travelled for the same time till they meet. Hence,
⇒ 100X = 75X + 9375
⇒ X = 375 Km
∴ X + 125 = 500 Km
Hence the distance between the points P and Q = Distance travelled by train A & B
= 375 + 500
= 875 Km
Distance travelled by second train when they meet = X + 125
We know that, Time = Distance/Speed
We know that both trains travelled for the same time till they meet. Hence,
⇒ 100X = 75X + 9375
⇒ X = 375 Km
∴ X + 125 = 500 Km
Hence the distance between the points P and Q = Distance travelled by train A & B
= 375 + 500
= 875 Km
