Q:

Agra and Delhi are 160 km apart. A train leaves Agra for Delhi and at the same time another train leaves Delhi for Agra. Both the trains meet 5 hrs after they start moving. If the train travelling from Agra to Delhi travels 6 km/hr faster than the other train, find the speed of the faster train? 

A) 19 kmph B) 13 kmph
C) 7 kmph D) 9 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 19 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the slower train = p kmph

ATQ,

Speed of the faster train = (p + 6) kmph

Then,

(p + p + 6) x 5 = 160

10p + 30 = 160

10p = 130

p = 13 kmph

Then, speed of the faster train = p + 6 = 13 + 6 = 19 kmph.
