      Question

      Train 'R' starts from Lucknow to Kanpur at 5:00 a.m. Train

      'S' starts from Kanpur to Lucknow at 7:00 a.m., traveling at 50 km/h. They cross each other at 12:00 noon. The distance between the cities is 550 km. Find the speed of train 'R'.
      A 42.86 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 'R' be 'x' km/h

      Distance covered alone = 2 Ă— x = 2x

      Time together = 5 hours

      ATQ;

      5 Ă— (50 + x) = 550 - 2x

      Or, 250 + 5x = 550 - 2x

      Or, 300 = 7x

      So, x = 42.86

      So, speed of train 'R' = 42.86 km/h
