Q:

A train covers 180 km distance in 5 hours. Another train covers the same distance in 1 hour less. What is the difference in the distances covered by these trains in one hour if they are moving in the same direction?

A) 15 kms B) 9 kms
C) 6 kms D) 18 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9 kms

Explanation:

The first train covers 180 kms in 5 hrs

=> Speed = 180/5 = 36 kmph

Now the second train covers the same distance in 1 hour less than the first train => 4 hrs

=> Speed of the second train = 180/4 = 45 kmph

Now, required difference in distance in 1 hour = 45 - 36 = 9 kms.
