The logic in the given puzzle is 

Addition of numeric values of corresponding letters in the first three figures gives respective corresponding letter in fourth figure. 

i.e, A = 1 , W = 23 , B = 2 => 2 + 1 + 23 =26 = 'Z'

Similarly, L = 12, K = 11 , A = 1 => 1 + 11 + 12 = 24 = 'X'

Here the missing letter is 'X'.

The letter 'E'.

As of the above given data,

It is in the 1st place in Earth, 2nd in Heaven and in the middle of the Sea.

It appears once in a Year and twice in a Week.

It is present in February, June, September, October, November & December.

But not in the Month.

Hence, it is the letter 'E'.

Each corresponding letter moves five places forward in the alphabet.

First is the sigh of the second.

Hence, Wince : Pain :: Prostration :Submissiveness.

In the question it is asked for 5% of 1500

5 x 1500/100 = 15 x 5 = 75.

Hence, 5% of 1,500 is equal to 75.

Using pythagarous theorem,
distance travelled by first train = 36x5/18x30 = 300m
distance travelled by second train = 48x5/18x30 = 400m
so distance between them =√( 90000 + 160000) = √250000 = 500mts.

Rewrite equation as 122x+1 = 120

Leads to 2x + 1 = 0 

Solve for x : x = -1/2
