hey
) distance covered = 300 km
let the speed of the train = x km/hr
time (t1) = distance/ speed
t1 = 300/ x------(1)
2) distance = 300 km
speed = (x- 10) km
t2 = 300 / (x-10)----(2)
given t2-t1 = 1 hr
300/(x-10) - 300/x = 1
[300x - 300(x-10)]/ (x-10)x =1
300x -300x +3000 = (x-10)x
3000 = (x-10) x
let x= 60
3000 = (60-10) *60 [true]
therefore
speed of the train = x = 60km/hr
Hope it helps to you.
