The distance between Kolhapur and Mumbai is 424 km and the distance b Lowknow and NewDelhi is 490 km Which train run faster and by how much?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Time taken by Mahalaksmi Express to reach Mumbai = 11 hours 45 minutes

Time taken by Gomti Express to reach New Delhi = 8 hours 15 minutes

Distance between Kolhapur and Mumbai= 424 Km

Distance between Lowknow and New Delhi= 490 Km

Speed of Mahalaksmi Express =

{$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$}

$= \frac{424000}{42300} \\ = 10.02m/s$

Speed of Gomti Express =

$= \frac{490000}{29700} \\ = 16.49m/s$

Speed of Mahalaksmi Express (in km/h)= 36.072km/h

Speed of Gomti Express (in km/h)= 59.364km/h

speed difference = 59.364-36.072 = 23.292 km/h

∴ gomti Express is faster than Mahalakshmi express by 23.292km/h
