The distance between the two cities is 513.24 km.

<h3>Time of motion when the two trains meet</h3>

The time spent on the journey when the two trains meet is calculated as follows;

(Va - Vb)t = d

where;

(76 - 65)t = 40

11t = 40

t = 40/11

t = 3.64 hr

<h3>Distance traveled by the fast train</h3>

d1 = 76 km/h x 3.64 h

d1 = 276.64 km

<h3>Distance traveled by the slow train</h3>

d2 = 65 km/h x 3.64 h

d2 = 236.6 km

The distance between the two cities = 276.64 km + 236.6 km

= 513.24 km
