The distance b/w two railway stations is 1176 km. To cover this distance, an express train takes 10 hours less than a passenger train. While the avg. speed of the passenger train is 35 km/h less than that of express train. The time taken by passenger train to complete the travel is: |
24 22 18 30 |
24 |
Time = t, ATQ, Speed of express = \(\frac{1176}{t - 10}\) Speed of passenger = \(\frac{1176}{t}\) \(\frac{1176}{t - 10}\) - \(\frac{1176}{t}\) = difference of speeds \(\frac{1176}{t - 10}\) - \(\frac{1176}{t}\) = 35 km/h 1176t - 1176t + 11760 = 35t (t - 10) 11760 = 35t (t - 10) 336 = t (t - 10) On solving it t = 24 |
