Solution
The correct option is C 250 km
At 2:15 PM the distance between the two trains would be 550 km as the train from Hazipur to Muzaffarpur would already have travelled for 40 minutes. After that they would take 550110=5 hours to meet. Thus, the train from Muzaffarpur would have travelled 250 km before the meeting. Option (c) is correct.
