Question

    A train covers a distance between stations Dehradun to

    Rudrapur in 90minutes. If the speed is reduced by 10 km/hr, it will cover the same distance in 96 minutes. What is the distance between the two stations (in km)? Also find the speed of train?
    A 120km/hr, 240km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 150km/hr, 200km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 160 km/hr, 240 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 100km/hr, 220km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Suppose the distance is x km and  Speed of the train is y km/hr Thus, we have two relations: x/y = 90/60 x = 3/2 y        …………(i) x/(y-10) = 96/60 x/(y-10) = 8/5      ………….(ii) From (i) and (ii), 3/2 y  = 8/5  (y – 10)  3/2 y  - 8/5 y = - 16 (15y -  16y)/10 = - 16 (-y)/10= -16  y = 160 Therefore, speed = 160 km/hr and  Distance, x =  3/2 y =   3/2× 160 = 240 km
