A person travels from Delhi to Mumbai in the express train whose speed is 70 km/hr. Another person travels from Mumbai to Delhi in the Rajdhani train whose speed is 90 km/hr. Both persons start their journey at the same time. They meet at Bhopal junction railway station which is 200 km more away from Mumbai than Delhi. Find the distance between Delhi and Mumbai. Correct Answer 1600 km

Given:

Speed of the express train = 70 km/hr

Speed of the Rajdhani train = 90 km/hr

Concept:

In these types of questions, we find the time when they meet with the help of relative speed concept and then we find the distance between Delhi and Mumbai.

Formula:

Relative speed = S1 + S2 (when trains move in the opposite direction)

Relative speed = S1 – S2 (when trains move in the same direction)

Distance = speed × time

Calculation:

let the time when they meet be x hrs

According to the question,

The faster train travels 200 km more than slower train

⇒ 200 = (90 – 70) × x

⇒ x = 200/20 = 10 hrs

Distance travelled by trains in 10 hrs = (90 + 70) × 10

= 1600 km

∴ Distance between Delhi and Mumbai = 1600 km

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.
