    A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/h more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train?

    42 kmh

    Incorrect Answer

    43 kmh

    Incorrect Answer

    45 kmh

    Incorrect Answer

    40 kmh

    Correct Answer
    Explanation:

    We know that,  Speed = Distance/time

    Let the speed of the train be = x kmph
               NORMAL SPEED                      SPEED 5 KMPH MORE
              Distance = 360 Km                         Distance =360
              speed    =  X Kmph                        Speed = (x+5)
                Time =360/X                              Time =360/(x+15)

    For the same journey if the speed increased 10 kmph more it will take 1 hour less
    Time with original speed - time with increased speed = 1
    (360/x) - (360/x+10) =  1                              
    (360(x+5)-360x)/x(x+5) =1
    360X + 1800 -360X  = X(X+5)
    X^2 + 5x - 1800 = 0
    X = 40 or -45
    X cannot be negetive value         

    X = 40 kmph.

    Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
