Let the speed of passanger train =x
Let the speed of Express train=(x+11)
let the time taken by passanger train =132/x
let the time taken by express train =132/x+11
132/x - 132/x+11 = 1
Let the speed of Express train=(x+11)
let the time taken by passanger train =132/x
let the time taken by express train =132/x+11
132/x - 132/x+11 = 1

Here is the answer to your question ☞

Let the average speed of the passenger train be x km/hr
∴Average speed of the express train = (x + 11) km/hr
Given, Time taken by express train to travel 132 km = Time taken by passenger train to travel 132 km – 1 hr
=> 132/(x+11) = 132/x - 1
=> 132/x - 132/(x+11) = 1
=> 132x+1452-132x/x(x+11) = 1
=> 1452 = x²+11x
=> x²+11x-1452 = 0 ______answer
thus, the quadratic equation representing the given information is "x²+11x-1452=0"
I think my answer is capable to clear your confusion
