A locomotive of weight 100 tonnes is attached to train of wagons weighing 1000 tonnes. The locomotive pulls the wagons with a constant velocity of 36 km/hour. When the coupling between the train and wagons breaks, the wagons roll on 95 m in 10 sec. The distance between the locomotive and the wagons at this instant assuming that the forces acting on the train are unaltered would be
