The train Rajdhani start from Bhopal to Gwalior while the train Shatabdi Express Start from Gwalior to Bhopal. After crossing each other they finish their journey in 100 hr and 144 hr respectively then what will be the speed of train Shatabdi Express if the speed of train Rajdhani is 60 km/hr?
The train Rajdhani start from Bhopal to Gwalior while the train Shatabdi Express Start from Gwalior to Bhopal. After crossing each other they finish their journey in 100 hr and 144 hr respectively then what will be the speed of train Shatabdi Express if the speed of train Rajdhani is 60 km/hr? Correct Answer 50 km/h
Given:
Speed of train Rajdhani (train1) = 60 km/hr
Speed of train Shatabdi Express (train2) = ?
Time (t1) =100 hour
Time (t2) = 144 hour
Formula:
Speed of train1/Speed of train2 = √t2/t1
Calculation:
Let the speed of Shatabdi express (train2) be x km/h
We know that –
Speed of train1/Speed of train2 = √t2/t1 ……. (1)
Now,
Put all the given value equation (1) then we get
60/x = √144/100
⇒ 60/x = 12/10
⇒ 12x = 600
⇒ x = 600/12
⇒ x = 50 km/h
∴ The Speed of Shatabdi Express (train2) be 50 km/h
