A train moves at a constant speed of 60 km/h toward a station 30 km away. At that moment Fanny Fastbird leaves her perch on the locomotive and flies toward the station at a constant speed of 100 km/h relative to the ground. When the bird reaches the station, she immediately turns around and flies back to the train at the same speed. When reaching the train she again immediately turns around and flies back to the station, repeating the process until the train passes the station. What total distance is traveled by the bird?

it will take half an hour for train to reach the station and untill then bird will continue to move with the speed of 100km/hr so distance traveled is :
100×0.5=50km
and it will move back and fourth infinitely many times!
