The difference between the time taken by two trains to travel a distance of 350 km is 2 hours 20 minutes. If the difference between their speeds is 5 km/hr, what is the speed of faster train ?

Correct Answer: 30 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the faster train be 'S' kmph


 


Then speed of the slower train will be '(S-5)' kmph


 


Time taken by faster train = 350/S hrs


 


Time taken by slower train = 350/(S-5) hrs


  350 s - 5   -   350 s   =   2   h r s   20   m i n   =   2 1 3   =   7 3


 


=> S = 30 km/hr.
