Question -

A passenger train takes one hour less for a journey of 150 km if its speed is increased by 5 km/hr from its usual speed. Find the usual speed of the train.



Answer -

Total journey = 150 km
Let the usual speed of the train = x km/hr
According to the condition,
┬а
=> x (x + 30) тАУ 25 (x + 30) = 0
=> (x + 30) (x тАУ 25) = 0
Either x + 30 = 0, then x = -30 but it is not possible being negative
or x тАУ 25 = 0, then x = 25
Usual speed of the train = 25 km/hr
