Q:

The difference between the time taken by two trains to travel a distance of 350 km is 2 hours 20 minutes. If the difference between their speeds is 5 km/hr, what is the speed of faster train ?

A) 36 kmph B) 30 kmph
C) 34 kmph D) 40 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 30 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the faster train be 'S' kmph

 

Then speed of the slower train will be '(S-5)' kmph

 

Time taken by faster train = 350/S hrs

 

Time taken by slower train = 350/(S-5) hrs

 350s-5 - 350s = 2 hrs 20 min = 213 = 73

 

=> S = 30 km/hr.
