Question -

An express train takes 1 hour less than a passenger train to travel 132 km between Mysore and Bangalore (without taking into consideration the time they stop at intermediate stations). If the average speed of the express train is 11 km/hr more than that of the passenger train, find the average speeds of the two trains.



Answer -

Distance between Mysore and Bangalore = 132 km
Let the speed of the passenger train=x km/hr
Then speed of express train = x + 11
According to the condition,
 
Either x + 44 = 0, then x = -44 but it is not possible being negative
or x – 33 = 0, then x = 33
Speed of passenger train = 33 km/hr
and speed of express train = 33 + 11 = 44 km/hr
