  • Question
  • Two station P and Q are at a distance of 160 km. Two trains starts moving from P and Q to Q and P respectively and meet each other after 4 h . If speed of the train starting from P is more than that of other train by 6 km/h. then find the speeds of both the trains, respectively.?


  • Options
  • A. 19 km/h, 13 km/h
  • B. 13 km/h, 9 km/h
  • C. 17 km/h, 23 km/h
  • D. 16 km/h, 10 km/h

  • Correct Answer
  • 17 km/h, 23 km/h 

    Explanation

    Let the speed of both trains be V km/h and (V + 6) km/h, respectively
    Then, according to the question.
    160 = V x 4 + (V + 6) x 4
    ? 160 = 4V + 4V + 24
    ? 40 = V + V + 6
    ? 2V + 6 = 40
    ? 2V = 34
    ? V = 17
    Hence, speeds of both the trains are 17 km/h and (17 + 6 ) km/h i,e 17 km/h and 23 km/h .
