When the axes of the first and last wheels of compound gear coincide, then the train is known as Correct Answer Reverted gear train

Explanation:

Gear Train:

Sometimes, two or more gears are made to mesh with each other to transmit power from one shaft to another. Such a combination is called a gear train.

They can be of many types:

  • Simple Gear Train
  • Compound Gear Train
  • Reverted Gear Train
  • Epicyclic Gear Train

Reverted Gear train:

  • When the axes of the first gear (i.e. first driver) and the last gear (i.e. last driven or follower) are co-axial, then the gear train is known as a reverted gear train.
  • The motion of the first gear and the last gear is like.
  • The reverted gear trains are used in automotive transmissions, lathe back gears, industrial speed reducers, and clocks.

Additional Information

Simple Gear Train: 

  • When every gear axes are fixed relative to the fixed frame and, there is only one gear on each shaft.
  • The number of shafts may be any.

Compound Gear Train:

  • When any shaft has more than one gear (first shaft or second shaft or intermediate shaft) i.e. two gear have the same angular velocity, the gear drive is called a compound gear train.

Epicyclic gear train:

  • When the gear train is having a relative motion of axes it is called the epicyclic gear train.
  • The axis of at least one of the gears also moves relative to the frame.

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.
