Hey! ! !
Solution :-
☆ Let speed be x
:- T=360/x
●If speed is increased by 5 km/h
●speed will be (x+5)km/h
●distance is the same
:- T= 360/(x+5)
☆time with original speed - time with increased speed = 1
:- 360/x - 360/(x+5)=1
LCD= x(x+5)
(360(x+5)-360x) /x(x+5)=1
360x+1800-360x=x(x+5)
x^2+5x = 1800
x^2+5x-1800=0
x^2+45x-40x-1800=0
x(x+45)-40(x+45)=0
(x-40)(x+45)=0
x= 40 mph the original speed ,i;e speed of train is 40 mph

Que) A train travels 360 km with uniform speed if the speed of train is increased by 5 km per hour it take 48 minutes less to cover the same distance find the initial speed of the train?
Let original Speed = s
Difference in time taken is 1 hour.
=> 360/s - 360/(s + 5) = 1
=> 360s + 1800 - 360s = s(s + 5)
=> s(s+ 5) = 1800
Since √1800 > 40 and √1800 < 45, both factors should be within this range and the difference must be 5, we have :
40 x 45 = 1800.
No other combination is possible.
=> s = 40 kmph
