Distance travelled = 1500 km
Let the original speed of train be x kmph
Given that the speed of the train is increased by 20 km an hour.
Hence the new speed is (x + 20) kmph
Time taken to cover 1500 km = 1500/(x+20)�
Given that the time taken is 20 hours less when compared to the previous time.
Since speed cannot be negative, hence the original speed of train is 75 kmph.
