a train cover a distance of 90 km at a uniform speed had the speed been 15 km/h more, it could have taken 30 min less for the journey . find the original speed of the train |

Answer» Answer:1)distance covered = 90 km let the speed of the TRAIN = x km/hr time (t1 ) = distance /speed t1 = 90/x -----(1) 2) distance = 90 km speed = (x+15) km/hr t2 = 90 /(x+15) ----(2) given t1-t2 = 30 minutes 90/x - 90 / (x+15) = 1/2 hr [90(x+15) -90x]/x(x+15) = 1/2 [90x + 1350 -90x]/ (x^2+15X) =1/2 1350 *2= x^2+15x 2700 = x^2+15x x^2+15x-2700=0 x*x +60x -45x - 45*60=0 x(x+60) - 45(x+60)=0 (x+60)(x-45)=0 x+60=0 or x-45=0 x= -60 0r x= 45 x should not be NEGATIVE x= 45 therfore speed of the trainick to let others know, how helpful is it Answer:2 → Original speed of the train = 45 km/hr . Step-by-step EXPLANATION: Given:- → Distance = 90 km . Let the original speed of the train = x km/h . → Time taken to travel = 90/x hr . ∴ Then, new speed = ( x + 15 ) km/hr . ∵ Time taken to travel = 90/( x + 15 ) hr . Now, A/Q, ∵ 90/x = 90/( x + 15 ) + 1/2 . ⇒ 90/x - 90/( x + 15 ) = 1/2 . ⇒ 90[ 1/x - 1/( x + 15 )] = 1/2 . ⇒ x + 15 - x/x( x + 15 ) = 1/2 × 1/90 . ⇒ 15/x( x + 15 ) = 180 . ⇒ x( x + 15 ) = 15 × 180 = 2700 . ⇒ x² + 15x - 2700 = 0 . ⇒ x² + 60x - 45x + 2700 = 0 . ⇒ ( x + 60 )( x - 45 ) = 0 . ⇒ x + 60 = 0 or x - 45 = 0 . ⇒ x = 45 or - 60 . [ ∵ Speed can't be negative. ] ∴ Original speed = 45km/hr . Hence, it is solved . THANKS . |
