Answer 1

Answer:

Let the original speed of the train be x km/h. Time taken to cover a distance of 360 km = 360/x hours.

New speed of the train = (x+5) km/h.

Time taken to cover a distance of 360 km at

new speed = 360/x+5 hours. Since, the train takes 1 hour less time,

.. 360/x - 360/x+5 = 1

⇒360 (x+5-x)/x(x+5) = 1

⇒360 (5) = x² + 5x ⇒1800 = x² + 5x

⇒x² + 5x - 1800 = 0

⇒x² + 45x - 40x - 1800 = 0

⇒x (x+45) - 40( x +45) = 0

⇒(x+45) (x-40) = 0

⇒x= (-45), 40

But since speed cannot be in negative.

..x = 40 km/hr.

Hence, the original speed of the train is 40 km/

h.
