Let us say, the speed of the train be x km/hr.
Time taken to cover 360 km = 360/x hr.
As per the question given,
➪ (x + 5)(360–1/x) = 360
➪ 360 – x + 1800–5/x = 360
➪ x2 + 5x + 10x – 1800 = 0
➪ x(x + 45) –40(x + 45) = 0
➪ (x + 45)(x – 40) = 0
➪ x = 40, –45
As we know, the value of speed cannot be negative.
Therefore, the speed of train is 40 km/h.
