Big Sam, an engineer of the Oval Express says: "We blew off a cylinder head an hour after leaving the station and had to continue the trip at three-fifths of the former speed, which brought us in two hours late. If the accident had occurred fifty miles father on, the train would have arrived forty minutes sooner". Based on Sam's description, how long was the run between the two train stations?
A. 150 miles
B. 200 miles
C. 250 miles
D. 300 miles

Answer is B. 200 miles

{(y/50)+2} hour=y/30 hour gives y=150 miles. Since, the train already had covered 50 miles at full-speed before the cylinder blew, so the run between the stations was 50+150=200 miles.
