Correct Answer: 81 km/hr
Explanation:
4.5 km/hr = | ❨ | 4.5 x | 5 | ❩ | m/sec = | 5 | m/sec = 1.25 m/sec, and |
18 | 4 |
5.4 km/hr = | ❨ | 5.4 x | 5 | ❩ | m/sec = | 3 | m/sec = 1.5 m/sec. |
18 | 2 |
Let the speed of the train be x m/sec.
Then, (x - 1.25) x 8.4 = (x - 1.5) x 8.5
⟹ 8.4x - 10.5 = 8.5x - 12.75
⟹ 0.1x = 2.25
⟹ x = 22.5
∴ Speed of the train = | ❨ | 22.5 x | 18 | ❩ | km/hr = 81 km/hr. |
