Answer 1

Train A= 249 tons

Train B= 87 tons

Explanation:

Total weight of Train A and Train B= 336 tons

Weight of Train A > Weight of Train B

Difference of their weights= 162 tons

Let the weight of Train A be t.

Then weight of Train B= t-162

Total weight= 336 tons

t+t-162= 336

2t= 336+162

2t= 498

t=
`(498)/(2)`

t= 249

t-162= 249-162

= 87

∴ the weights of Train A and Train B are 249 tons and 87 tons respectively.
