let the person travel x hours by bus. so he travels 6 - x hours by
train. so the equation to find x is
40 x + 70 ( 6 - x ) = 360 or 40 x - 70 x + 420 = 360 or
30 x = 60, hence x = 2. hence distance covered by train = 70* 4= 280
Answer 280 km

Answer:
The distance traveled by train is 280 km
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that A person covers 360 km in 6 hours.
Let x be the time taken to travel by bus
So, time taken to travel by train = 6-x
Speed of bus = 40 kmph
Speed of train = 70kmph
Distance =
We are given taht the total distance is of 360 km
So, Total distance = Distance traveled by bus + distance traveled by Train
So,
x = 2
So, Distance traveled by train = 70(6-2) =70(4)=280 km
Hence The distance traveled by train is 280 km
