Answer/Solution

900

Steps/Work

At the time of meeting, let the distance traveled by the second train be x km. Then, distance covered by the first train is (x + 100) km.
x/40 = (x + 100)/50
50x = 40x + 4000 => x = 400
So, distance between P and Q = (x + x + 100)km = 900 km.

Calculated Answer

900

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate n2 + (n1 * n2) / (n0 - n1) + (n1 * n2) / (n0 - n1).

n0 =50
n1 =40
n2 =100
