Correct Answer: 350 km
Solution :
Let the distance when they met be $X$.
During the whole Journey, the time remains same for the both trains.
So, $\frac{\text{Speed of Delhi train}} {\text{Speed of Aligarh train}}
= \frac{\text{Distance covered by Delhi train}}{\text{Distance covered by Aligarh train}}$
$⇒\frac{21}{14} = \frac{(X +70)}{X}$
$⇒21X = 14X + 980$
$⇒7X = 980$
$\therefore X = 140$
So, total Distance = $2X + 70 = 2 × (140 + 70) = 350$ km
Hence, the correct answer is 350 km.
