Correct Answer: 210 km
Solution : Let the time be $x$ hours when the train moves at a speed of 42 km/hr. So, time will be $(x+\frac{1}{4})$ hours when the train moves at a speed of 40 km/hr. (15 minutes = $\frac{1}{4}$ hour) Distance = Speed × Time $⇒42×x = 40 × (x+\frac{1}{4})$ $⇒2x=10$ $\therefore x=5$ Total distance = 42 × 5 = 210 km Hence, the correct answer is 210 km.
