Correct Answer: 875 km


Solution : Let the trains meet after t hours.
Speed of train A = 75 km/hr
Speed of train B = 50 km/hr
Distance covered by train A = 75 × t = 75t
Distance covered by train B = 50 × t = 50t
Distance = Speed × Time
According to the question,
75t − 50t = 175
⇒ 25t = 175
$\therefore$ t = 7 hours
$\therefore$ Distance between A and B
= 75t + 50t = 125t = (125 × 7) = 875 km
Hence, the correct answer is 875 km.
