Explanation:
1)distance covered = 90 km
let the speed of the train = x km/hr
time (t1 ) = distance /speed
t1 = 90/x -----(1)
2) distance = 90 km
speed = (x+15) km/hr
t2 = 90 /(x+15) ----(2)
given
t1-t2 = 30 minutes
90/x - 90 / (x+15) = 1/2 hr
[90(x+15) -90x]/x(x+15) = 1/2
[90x + 1350 -90x]/ (x^2+15x) =1/2
1350 *2= x^2+15x
2700 = x^2+15x
x^2+15x-2700=0
x*x +60x -45x - 45*60=0
x(x+60) - 45(x+60)=0
(x+60)(x-45)=0
x+60=0 or x-45=0
x= -60 0r x= 45
x should not be negative
x= 45
therfore speed of the train = 45km/hr
