Two trains $A$ and $B$,initially $120\, km$ apart,start moving towards each other on the same track with a velocity of $60\, km/hr$ each. At the moment of start,train $A$ blows a whistle,which reflects off train $B$ and subsequently reflects off train $A$,and so on. If the velocity of sound waves in air is $1200\, km/hr$,what is the total distance travelled by the sound waves before the trains crash (in $km$)?

  • A
    $2400$
  • B
    $1200$
  • C
    $240$
  • D
    $120$

$A$ motor car moving at a speed of $72 \, km/h$ cannot come to a stop in less than $3.0 \, s$,while for a truck,this time interval is $5.0 \, s$.
