Two trains $A$ and $B$ initially $120\, km$ apart, start moving towards each other on the same track with a velocity of $60\, km/hr$ each. At the moment of start $A$ blows a whistle, which reflects on $B$ and subsequently reflects from $A$ and so on. Take the velocity of sound waves in air $1200\, km/hr$. The distance travelled by sound waves before the trains crash will be (in $km$)

  • A

    $2400$

  • B

    $1200$

  • C

    $240$

  • D

    $120$
