Starting just at 265/hour
Answer :
Ans.Let the speed of the train be x km/h and the time taken by train to travel the given distance be t hours and the distance to travel be d km.
Since Speed = Distance travelled/Time taken to travel the distance
=> \(x = {{d} \over {t}}\)
=> d = xt … (1)
According to the question
=> \(x + 10 = {{d} \over {t - 2}}\)
=>\((x + 10) (t - 2) = d\)
=> \(xt + 10t - 2x - 20 = d\)
=> \(-2x + 10t = 20\)……(2)[Using eq. (1)]
Again, => \(x - 10 = {{d} \over {t + 3}}\)
=>\((x - 10) (t + 3) = d\)
=> \(xt - 10t + 3x - 30 = d\)
=> \(3x - 10t = 30\)……(3)[Using eq. (1)]
Adding equations (2) and (3):
x = 50
Substituting the value of x in equation (2):
\((-2) (50) + 10t =20\)
\(=> –100 + 10t = 20\)
\(=> 10t = 120t\)
=> \(t = 12\)
From equation (1):
d = xt = (50)(12) = 600
Thus, the distance covered by the train is 600 km.
