Q.

The difference between the time taken by two trains to travel a distance of 350 km is 2 hours 20 minutes. If the difference between their speeds is 5 km/hr, what is the speed of faster train ?

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Let the speed of the faster train be 'S' kmph Then speed of the slower train will be '(S-5)' kmph Time taken by faster train = 350/S hrs Time taken by slower train = 350/(S-5) hrs 350/s−5 − 350/s = 2 hrs 20 min = 2 1/3 = 7/3 => S = 30 km/hr.
