A train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train would have been 6km/hr. faster, it would have taken 4 hours less than the scheduled time a d if the train would have slowed downby 6 km/hr, it would be taken 6 hours more than the scheduled time. Find the length of the journey.

Answers
Let the actual speed of the train be x km/hr and the actual time taken be y hours. Then,
Distance covered =(xy)km ..
(i) [∴ Distance = Speed × Time]
If the speed is increased by 6 km/hr, then time of journey is reduced by 4 hours i.e., when speed is (x+6)km/hr, time of journey is (y−4) hours.
∴ Distance covered =(x+6)(y−4)
⇒xy=(x+6)(y−4) [Using (i)]
⇒−4x+6y−24=0
⇒−2x+3y−12=0 ..(ii)
When the speed is reduced by 6 km/hr, then the time of journey is increased by 6 hours i.e., when speed is (x−6) km/hr, time of journey is (y−6) hours.
∴ Distance covered =(x−6)(y+6)
⇒xy=(x−6)(y+6) [Using (i)]
⇒6x−6y−36=0
⇒x−y−6=0 (iii)
Thus, we obtain the following system of equations:
−2x+3y−12=0
x−y−6=0
By using cross-multiplication, we have,
3×−6−(−1)×−12x =
−2×−6−1×−12−y = −2×−1−1×31
⇒−30x = 24−y = −11
⇒x=30 and y=24
Putting the values of x and y in equation (i), we obtain
Distance =(30×24)km =720km.
Hence, the length of the journey is 720km.
Answer:
Thunderstorm, a violent short-lived weather disturbance that is almost always associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain or hail, and strong gusty winds. ... Thunderstorms arise when layers of warm, moist air rise in a large, swift updraft to cooler regions of the atmosphere.
