Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Their combined speed (speed of closure) is 80 mph + 40 mph = 120 mph.

120 mi/h = 120 mi/(60 min) = 2 mi/min

The distance between the trains at the 1-minute mark is ...

(1 min) · (2 mi/min) = 2 mi

They were warned when two miles apart.

\bold{\boxed{\huge{\blue{\underline{Answer }}}}}

\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}

\sf{The\: population\: is\: decreased \:by\: 10 percent  }

\sf{There\: were \: only \: 1800 \: people \: left}

\bold{\underline{ To\: Find :- }}

\sf{we \: have \: to \: find\: original \: population? }

\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin :- }}

\sf{Let \: the \: total \:  population\: be \: x }

\sf{\underline{ Therefore }}

\sf{According \: to \: the \: question }

\sf{ x - 10/100 = 1800 }

\sf{ 100x - 10/100 = 1800}

\sf{ 100x - 10 = 1800 × 100}

\sf{100x - 10 = 180000}

\sf{ 100x = 180000 + 10}

\sf{ x = 180010/100}

\sf{ x = 1800.1 }

\bold{\pink{Hence , The\: original \:population \:of \: the\: village \:is \:1800.1 }}
