Question

    Train 'P' leaves Pune for Nagpur at 6:00 a.m. At 8:00 a.m.,

    another train 'Q' departs from Nagpur to Pune at 55 km/h. Both trains meet at 1:00 p.m. If the distance between Pune and Nagpur is 620 km, what is the speed of train 'P'?
    A 49.29 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 53.33 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 73.33 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 33.88 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the speed of train 'P' be 'x' km/h

    Distance covered by train 'P' alone = 2 × x = 2x km

    Time both trains travelled together = 5 hours

    ATQ;

    5 × (55 + x) = 620 - 2x

    Or, 275 + 5x = 620 - 2x

    Or, 345 = 7x

    So, x = 49.29

    So, speed of train 'P' = 49.29 km/h
