Answer 1

Answer:

A passenger train running at the speed of 80 kms./hr leaves the railway station 6 hours after a goods train leaves and overtakes it in 4 hours. What is the speed of the goods train?

32 kmph

50 kmph

45 kmph

64 kmph

Correct Option: A

Let the speed of goods train be x kmph.

∴ Distance covered by goods train in 10 hour = distance covered by passenger train in 4 hours

⇒ 10x = 80 × 4

⇒ x =

80 × 4

= 32 kmph.
