train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed if the train would have been 10 km/h faster if it would have taken 2 hour less than schedule time and if train were 10 km/h slower than it would take 8 hour more than schedule time find the distance covered by the train
Answers
Answer
I had done one correction it is written in your question that train would take 8 hr more than scheduled time. But it will lead to negative time which is not possible.
So here I replaced it by 3hr.
To find,
- Distance covered by the train
Solution ,
Let the speed of the train be xkm/h and the time taken by train to travel the given distance be t hours and the distance to travel be dkm. We know that,
d = xt -----------(1)
1st Case
⇛(x + 10)×(t − 2) = d
⇛ xt + 10t − 2x − 20 = d
⇛ d + 10t − 2x − 20 = d
⇛ −2x + 10t = 20 -----------(2)
2nd Case
⇛ (x − 10)×(t + 3) = d
⇛xt − 10t + 3x − 30 = d
⇛ d − 10t + 3x − 30 = d
⇛ 3x − 10t = 30 -----------(3)
Adding equations (2) and (3) we get
⇛ x = 50
Substitute the value of x in (2) we get
⇒ (−2)×(50) + 10t = 20
⇒ −100 + 10t = 20
⇒ 10t = 120
⇒t = 12 hr
Substitute the value of t and x in equation (1), we get,
Distance travelled = d = xt
⇒ d = 12×50 = 600Km
Hence, the distance covered by the train is 600km.
