A train, travelling at a uniform speed for 360 km, would have taken 48 minutes less to travel the same distance if its speed were 5 km/hr more. Find the original speed of the train. -Maths 10th

1 Answer

Answer :

Let the speed of train be x km/hr Distance to be travelled  = 360km We know that,   Time take by the train intially =  If the speed was increased by 5km/hr Time taken by train =  Difference in the time taken is 48 minutes, x2+5x -2250 = 0 (x+50)(x-45) Speed = 45 km/hr as speed cannot be negative

Last Answer : Answer – B (50 km/hr) Explanation – Let speed be S Relative speed = total lengths/time [ in this case man length is neglible compare to train so neglected] (S – 5) x 5/18 = 125 /10 S- 5 = (125/10)x(18/5) S-5 = 45 S=50 km/hr

Description : Two trains are running in opposite directions with the same speed. If the length of each train is 120 metres and they cross each other in 12 seconds, then the speed of each train (in km/hr) is: A.12 kmph B.24 kmph C.36 kmph D.48 kmph E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer – C (36 kmph) Explanation – Let the speed of each train be x m/sec. Then, relative speed of the two trains = 2x m/sec. So, 2x = (120 + 120)/12 ⇔ 2x = 20 ⇔ x = 10. ∴ Speed of each train = 10 m/sec = [10 x 18/5] km/hr = 36 km/hr

Last Answer : ANSWER:D Explanation:  Speed of the train = 270 km/hr. Converting the speed into m/sec  Speed = 270 km/hr = 270 x 5/18 m/sec = 75 m/sec  First, we have to find the length of the train  Let ... a standing Pole at 75 m/s =( 17300/75)seconds = 231 seconds. Hence the answer is 231 sec(approx.)
