Question

Artuvels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/h more, it would
have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train find by factorisation​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given distance=360 km.

Let the speed of the train be x km/hr.

Speed when increased by 5 km/hr =(x+5) km/hr

x

360

−

(x+5)

360

=1

x(x+5)

[360x+1800−360x]

=1

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,−45

The speed of the train is 40 km/hr.
