Pondage in a hydropower station is _________________________________ Correct Answer temporary storage to meet peak demands

The pondage takes care of the hour to hour fluctuations over a day or occasionally day to day fluctuations over a weekly cycle. It ensures that the desired instantaneous rate of flow into the turbines under day to day changing conditions of power load as well as of inflow. It may also be provided for weekly demands.

There is only one rail track between stations A and B on a railway line. One hour after the northbound superfast train N leaves station A for station B, the southbound passenger train S reaches station A from station B. The speed of superfast train is twice that of express train E, while the speed of passenger train S is half of that of train E. On some one day train N leaves from station A to station B 20 minutes late than its usual schedule. Both Train N and Train S have increased their speed to maintain the schedule as per the table. If the superfast train doubles its speed, then what should be the ratio (approximately) of the speed of the passenger train to the speed of the superfast train so that the passenger train reaches the station on that day at the exact scheduled time.
