| Day | Total Passengers | Fraction in Train A | Passengers in Train A | Passengers in Train B |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 165 | 7/11 | 165 × 7 ÷ 11 = 105 | 165 - 105 = 60 |
| Tuesday | 135 | 2/5 | 135 × 2 ÷ 5 = 54 | 135 - 54 = 81 |
| Wednesday | 180 | 8/15 | 180 × 8 ÷ 15 = 96 | 180 - 96 = 84 |
| Thursday | 144 | 3/8 | 144 × 3 ÷ 8 = 54 | 144 - 54 = 90 |
Calculations:
Passengers in Train B each day:
Monday: 60
Tuesday: 81
Wednesday: 84
Thursday: 90
Total = 60 + 81 + 84 + 90 = 315
Thus, the correct answer is 315.
