A passenger train covers the distance between station K and L, 40 minutes faster than a goods train. Find this distance between K and L if the average speed of the passenger train is 50 km/h and that of goods train is 30 km/h?

Q: A passenger train covers the distance between station K and L, 40 minutes faster than a goods train. Find this distance between K and L if the average speed of the passenger train is 50 km/h and that of goods train is 30 km/h?

Let the distance be 'd' kms. According to the given data, d 30 - d 50 = 40 60 hrs = > 6 d = 300 = > d = 50 kms .

50 kms
48 kms
46 kms
44 kms

Correct Answer: 50 kms

Explanation:

Let the distance be 'd' kms.

According to the given data,

$\frac{d}{30} - \frac{d}{50} = \frac{40}{60} hrs = > 6 d = 300 = > d = 50 kms .$
