Correct Answer: 18 km


Solution : Given: A train starts from station A and reaches station B.15 minutes late when it moves at 40 km/hr and 24 minutes late when it goes at 30 km/hr.

Here, we have to find the distance.

Let x kilometers represent the separation between stations A and B.

Considering the circumstances,

x30−x40=(24−15)×160

x20=960=>x120=960

x=120×960=18kms

The distance between A and B is therefore 18 kilometers.

Hence, option 3 is correct.
