Maths Puzzle
A train from mumbai to pune another from pune to mumbai starts at the same time,cross one anoyher in route and reach their destination in 4 hour and 1 hour respectively,after crossing.If the first train was travelling at 24 km/hr,at what speed was the second train travelling?
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- 48 km/hr
If x is the distance travelled by first train before crossing, then total distance is x+4*24= x+96 kms.
also
x/24 = 96/s where s is speed of second train
and
x/s=1 as second train took 1 hr to travel distance x after crossing first train.
x=s
so
s/24 =96/s
s^2= 96*24
s= 48 km/hr
