Question

36) A train travelling at a uniform speed for 360 km, would have taken 48 min less to travel the
same distance, if its speed was 5 km/h more. Find the original speed of the train.
The Sum of four consecutive numbers in an AAP is 37 and the ratio of noduct of the first and​

Answer 1

let original speed of train = x km/h

we know,

time = distance/speed

first case

———————

time taken by train = 360/x hour

second case

——————————

time taken by train its speed increase 5 km/h = 360/( x + 5)

question says that

time taken by train in first - time taken by train in 2nd case = 48 min = 48/60 hour

360/x - 360/(x +5) = 48/60 = 4/5

360{ 1/x - 1/(x +5) } = 4/5

360 ×5/4 { 5/(x² +5x )} =1

450 x 5 = x² + 5x

x² +5x -2250 = 0

x = { -5±√(25+9000) }/2

=(-5 ±√(9025) )/2

=(-5 ± 95)/2

= -50 , 45

but x ≠ -50 because speed doesn't negative

so, x = 45 km/h

hence, original speed of train = 45 km/h
