a train met with an accident 60 km away from anantpur station.It completed the remaining journey at 5/6 th of the previous speed and reached barmula station 1 hour 12 in late.had acciden takn place 60 km furthr ,it woud have been only 1 hour late a What is th normalspeed of trainb wha isthe distance between anantpur and barmula...pls explain ur answers.its getting difficult fr me to understand it.

LET THE NORMAL SPEED OF TRAIN BE "x km/hr"
LET THE TOTAL DISTANCE BE "y km"

-Accident occur after 60km from anantpur i.e; train has travelled 60km with normal speed. hence time taken at normal speed till accident= (60/x) hr.
-Rest distance from accident to barmula= (y-60) km.
-Speed for rest of distance= (5/6)x = (5x/6).
-time taken to travel rest distance= (y-60)/(5x/6) = ((6(y-60))/5x)
-if accident would not have occurred den time taken = y/x
-train late by 1hr 12min= 1+(12/60)= 6/5 hr
- Hence 1st equation is =
(60/x)+ ((6(y-60))/5x) = y/x + 6/5 ------eqn 1
- similarly eqn 2 can be written as
(120/x) + ((6(y-120))/5x) = y/x + 1 ------eqn 2

simplify and solve both the equations...
ans will be x = 60 km/hr and y = 420 km
