Answer:
The distance by road between two towns A and B is 216 km, and by rail it is 208 km. A car travels at a speed of x km/hr and the train travels at a speed which is 16 km/hr faster than the car. Calculate: (i) the time taken by the car to reach town B from A, in terms of x; (ii) the time taken by the train, to reach town B from A, in terms of x. (iii) If the train takes 2 hours less than than the car, to reach town B, obtain an equation in x, and solve it. (iv) hence, find the speed of the train. [1998]
