Practicing Success
Train A takes $1\frac{4}{5}$h more than the time taken by train B to cover a distance of 360 km. If the speed of train A doubles, it will take 36 min less than the time taken by train B to travel the same distance. What is the speed (in km/h ) of train B? |

1\(\frac{4}{5}\) hours = \(\frac{9}{5}\) hours = 108 minutes Ratio of , Initial : Final Speed 1 : 2 Time 2 : 1 Total time gap Between initial and final = 108 + 36 = 144 mins ( 2 - 1 )R = 144 min 1R = 144 minutes Initial Time taken by A = 2R = 288 minutes According to question , 288 = 108 + B B = 180 min = 3 hours Speed of B = \(\frac{360}{3}\) = 120 km/h |
