Answer:

Let the speed of the train be ‘x’ km/hr and the speed of the car be ‘y’ km/hr.

It is given that he travels 400 km partly by train and the rest i.e. (600-400) = 200 km by car

To travels this distance he takes 6 hours 30 minutes which is equal to

Also it is given that he travels 200 km by train and the rest i.e. (600-200) = 400 km by car and the time taken is half an hour longer i.e.

Distance = Speed × Time

Now,

→ equation 1

→ equation 2

Multiplying Equation 2 with 2 we get

→ equation 3

Subtracting [Equation 3] from [Equation 2] we get,

Now substituting the value of y in [Equation 2] we get

Thus the speed of the train is 100 km/hr and speed of the car is 80 km/hr.
