Question

A fight left 30 min late to reach 1500 far place its speed was increased by 250 km h find speed

Answer 1

125 kilometer or speed is 4.16 kilometer per hour

Answer 2

Solution :-

Let the original speed of train be x km/hr

New speed = (x + 250) km/hr

We know that,

Time = Distance / Speed

Given : A plane left 30 minutes or 1/2 hours later than the scheduled time.

According to the question,

=> 1500/x - 1500/(x + 250) = 1/2

=> (1500x + 37500 - 1500x)/x(x + 250) = 1/2

=> 2(37500) = x(x + 250)

=> 75000 = x² + 250x

=> x² + 250x - 75000 = 0

=> x² + 1000x - 750x - 75000 = 0

=> x(x + 1000) - 750(x + 1000) = 0

=> (x - 750) (x + 1000) = 0

=> x = 750 or x = - 1000

∴ x ≠ - 1000 (Because speed can't be negative)

Hence,

Its usual speed = 750 km/hr
