Practicing Success
A train starts running at a uniform speed of 60 km/h from station P towards station Q. At the same time another train starts running from station Q towards station P. If the distance between the stations P and Q is 275 km and the trains meet in two and a half hours, then what is the speed of the train running towards station P in km/h? |
48 44 40 50 |
50 |
Let speed of train starting from station Q = S km/h Relative speed when moves in opposite direction = (60 + S ) km/h According to question , Speed = \(\frac{275}{2.5}\) = 110 km/h 110 = 60 + S S = 50 km/h So , Speed of train starting from station Q is 50 km/h . |
