Two trains are running towards each other from station A and station B at speeds of 70 km/h and 80 km/h, respectively. When they meet each other, it is noticed that the second train covers 150 km more than the first train. What is the distance between the two stations?
2250 km
Let the time taken to meet be t hours. Distance covered by the first train = 70t, and by the second = 80t.
Given the second train covers 150 km more: \(80t - 70t = 150 \Rightarrow 10t = 150 \Rightarrow t = 15\) hours.
Distance between stations = \(70 \times 15 + 80 \times 15 = 1050 + 1200 = 2250\) km.
Hence, the correct answer is 2250 km (D).
