Explanation:

Let the speed of auto be x kmph^-1 . So, the speed of train will be 6x and that of bike will be
= 6x /1.5 = 4x
As per the given information,
Time taken by auto + Time taken by train + Time taken by bike = 21 hours
⇒ 132/x + 852/6x + 248/4x = 21
or, 132/x + 142/x + 62/x = 21
or, 21x = 132 + 142 + 62 = 336
∴ x = 336/21 = 16
∴ Speed of the train = 6x = 6 × 16 = 96 kmh^-1
