Answer:
Let the speed of the train be xkmph
The time taken by the train to travel 180km is
x
180
h
The increased speed is x+9
The time taken is
x+9
180
According to the question,
The time taken is
x
180
−1
⟹
x
180
−1=
x+9
180
⟹
x
180−x
=
x+9
180
⟹180x−x
2
+1680−9x=180x
⟹x
2
+9x−1680=0
⟹x
2
+45x−36x−1680=0
⟹x(x+45)−36(x+45)=0
x=36,−45
Speed cannot be negative (In this case,)
So The speed of the train is 36kmph
