Actually they should mention distance between the two stations, but i searched in Internet and i found the distance between the stations is 2450 miles.
So the time taken for both trains to meet is
Time taken=distance between them/Relative speed of both trains in opp direction(Sum of speeds)=2450/35=70 hours.
so for these 70 hrs the bird will be travelling here and there. so distance traveled for 70 hrs = 70*25=1750 miles.
So answer is 1750 miles.
