ATQ,
Let the distance between towns 'X' and 'Y' be 'd' km
Let the correct time to travel be 't' hours
According to the question,
(d/40) = t + (45/60) = t + 0.75
And, (d/60) = t - (36/60) = t - 0.6
Or, (d/40) - (d/60) = t + 0.75 - (t - 0.6)
Or, (3d - 2d) ÷ 120 = 1.35
Or, d/120 = 1.35
Or, d = 1.35 × 120 = 162
Therefore, the distance between town 'X' and 'Y' is 162 km.
