A) Rs. 820 B) Rs. 830

Then A's share = x/3
B's share = x/4
C's share = x/5
D's share = x - (x/3 + x/4 +x/5) = 13x/60

A : B : C : D = x/3 : x/4 : x/5 : 13x/60 = 20 : 15 : 12 : 13

A's share in the profit of Rs. 2490 = 20 (2490/60) = Rs. 830.

Then their relative speed= X - 48 kmph
To cross slower train by faster train,
Distance need to be cover = (400 + 600)m = 1 km. and
Time required = 180 sec = 180/3600 hr = 1/20 hr.
Time = Distance/Speed
=> 1/20 = 1/(x-48)
X = 68 kmph
