\huge\sf\pink{Answer}

☞ Speed of Express train = 33 km/h

☞ Speed of Passenger train = 44 km/h

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

\huge\sf\blue{Given}

✭ A train takes 1 hour less than a passenger train

✭ Distance = 132 km

✭ Average speed of express train is 11 km/h more than the passenger train

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

\huge\sf\gray{To \:Find}

◈ The Average speed of two trains?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

\huge\sf\purple{Steps}

\large\underline{\underline{\sf Let}}

➢ Speed of express train = x

➢ Speed of passenger train = (x+11)

So we know that the formula to find speed is given by

\underline{\boxed{\red{\sf Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}}}}

So then,

\sf Time = \dfrac{distance}{speed}

For convenience let Express train be ET and Passenger train be PT

»» \sf Time \ by \ EP = \dfrac{132}{x}

»» \sf Time \ by \ PT =  \dfrac{132}{(x+11)}

As the Difference in time is 1 hour

\sf\dfrac{132}{x}-\dfrac{132}{x+11} = 1

\sf 132(x+11)-132x = x(x+11)

\sf 132x +1452-132x = x^2 +11x

\sf x^2 + 11x-1452 = 0

Using Middle term splitting

\sf x^2+44x-33x-1452=0

\sf x(x+44) -33(x+44) = 0

\sf (x+44)(x-33) = 0

\sf x = 33 \ or \ -44

So ignoring negatively

\orange{\sf x = 33}

Substituting the value of x

➠ Speed of Express train = 33km/hr

➠ Speed of Passenger train = (x+11) = 44km/hr
