A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed, if speed has been increased it will take one hour less for the same journey then find the speed of the train.​

Sagot :

Given distance=360 km.

Let the speed of the train be x km/hr.

Speed when increased by 5 km/hr =(x+5) km/hr

x

360

(x+5)

360

=1

x(x+5)

[360x+1800−360x]

=1

x

+5x−1800=0

x

+45x−40x−1800=0

x(x+45)−40(x+45)=0

(x−40)(x+45)=0

x=40,−45

The speed of the train is 40 km/hr.
