  • Question
  • Agra and Delhi are 160 km apart. A train leaves Agra for Delhi and at the same time another train leaves Delhi for Agra. Both the trains meet 5 hrs after they start moving. If the train travelling from Agra to Delhi travels 6 km/hr faster than the other train, find the speed of the faster train?


  • Options
  • A. 19 kmph
  • B. 13 kmph
  • C. 7 kmph
  • D. 9 kmph

  • Correct Answer
  • 19 kmph 

    Explanation

    Let the speed of the slower train = p kmph

    ATQ,

    Speed of the faster train = (p + 6) kmph

    Then,

    (p + p + 6) x 5 = 160

    10p + 30 = 160

    10p = 130

    p = 13 kmph

    Then, speed of the faster train = p + 6 = 13 + 6 = 19 kmph.
