Question:

The distance covered by a train in ( x + 1) hours is (x3 + 1) km. What is the speed of the train ?

Options:

$(x^3 - 1) $ km/h

$(x^2 - x +1)$ km/h

$(x^2 + x +1)$ km/h

$(x + 1)$ km/h

Correct Answer:

$(x^2 - x +1)$ km/h

Explanation:

Speed = \(\frac{Distance }{Time}\)

= \(\frac{(x3 + 1) }{ ( x + 1) }\)

= \(\frac{(x+1) ( x2 - x + 1 ) }{ ( x + 1) }\)

= ( x2 - x + 1 ) km/h
