Step-by-step explanation:
Let x km per hour be the average speed of the passenger train, then the average speed of the express train will be (x+11) km per hour.
The time taken by the passenger train is
x
132
hour and the time taken by the express train is
(x+11)
132
hour. So,
x+11
132

+44x−33x−1452=0
(x−33)(x+44)=0
x=33,x=−44
The speed cannot be negative, so the speed of the passenger train is 33 km per hour and the speed of the express train is 33+11=44 km per hour.
