Answer:

The train travelled 300 km in all

Explanations:

Total time taken for the trip = 4 hours

For the first half of the trip (2 hours), it travels 60 km/h

For the second half of the trip (2 hours), it travels 100 km/h

For the first 2 hours:

In 1 hour, it travels 60 km

in 2 hours, it travels (2 x 60) = 120 km

For the second 2 hours:

In 1 hour, it travels 100 km

In 2 hours, it travels (2 x 100) = 200km

The distance traveled in the whole trip = Distance traveled in the first half of the journey + Distance traveled in the second half

The distance traveled in the whole trip = 120 km + 200 km

The distance travelled in the whole trip = 320 km
