Question

A man travels 300 km by train and 200 km by taxi, it takes him 5 hours 30

minutes. But if he travels 260 km by train and 240 km by taxi, he takes 6 minutes

longer. Find the speeds of the train and that of the taxi.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the speed of train be x km/hr and speed of taxi be y km/hr.

We know, Time=SpeedDistance

5 hr 30 minutes =5+6030=5+21=211hrs

5 hr 36 minutes =5+6036=5+106=528hrs

From the given information, we have,

x300+y200=211andx260+y240=528

Putting x1=pandy1=q , we have

300p+200q=211and260p+240q=
