A train covers the distance between two stations X and Y in 6 hours. If the speed of the train is reduced by 13 km/h, then it travels the same distance in 9 hours. Find the distance between the two stations.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the initial speed = S
Distance = Speed × Time
According to the question,
As distance is same in both cases
S × 6 = (S - 13) × 9
6S = 9S - 117
3S = 117
S = 39 km/h
Distance = 39 × 6 = 234 km.
So , The distance between the two stations is 234 km.
