Answer» .inWhat is your question?Secondary SchoolMath 5+3 ptsA train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. if the speed of the train had been 6 km/hr faster, it WOULD have TAKEN 4 hour less time than the scheduled time and if the speed of the train were SLOWER by 6 km/hr, the train would have taken 6 hr more than the scheduled time. the length of the journey was:Report by Msd11111 22.02.2018Answersshikharrai114p1ekhpShikharrai114p1ekhp ExpertLet the speed of the train by x km/hrAnd the time taken by the train be ‘y’ hrsDistance traveled by the train is x.y = xyCase IIF the train would have been 6 km/hr faster, it would have taken 4 hours less than the scheduled time.⇒ (x + 6) (y - 4) = xy⇒ -4x + 6y = 24⇒ 2x – 3y = -12 ---------------- (1)CASE IIIf the train were slower by 6 km/hr, it would have taken 6 hours more than the scheduled time⇒ (x - 6) (y + 6) = xy⇒ 6x – 6y = 36⇒ x – y = 12 ----------------(2)Solve it simultaneously and get the values of x and y.Hope u understand it.!!Mark Braniliest!! |
