  • Question
  • A train covers 180 km distance in 5 hours. Another train covers the same distance in 1 hour less. What is the difference in the distances covered by these trains in one hour if they are moving in the same direction?


  • Options
  • A. 15 kms
  • B. 9 kms
  • C. 6 kms
  • D. 18 kms

  • Correct Answer
  • 9 kms 

    Explanation

    The first train covers 180 kms in 5 hrs

    => Speed = 180/5 = 36 kmph

    Now the second train covers the same distance in 1 hour less than the first train => 4 hrs

    => Speed of the second train = 180/4 = 45 kmph

    Now, required difference in distance in 1 hour = 45 - 36 = 9 kms.
