A train travels from City A to City B at 60 km/h and returns at 40 km/h. If the total journey time is 10 hours, what is the distance between the two cities?
Answer: A
Let distance = d. Time = Distance/Speed. Going: d/60, Returning: d/40. Total: d/60 + d/40 = 10. Taking LCM: (2d + 3d)/120 = 10, so 5d/120 = 10, therefore d = 240 km.
