Question : 3 of 40

Marks: +1, -0

A train can travel 50% faster than a car. Both start from point A at the same time and reach point B 75 kms away from A at the same time. On the way, however, the train lost about 12.5 minutes while stopping at the stations. What is the speed of car?

130 km/hr
120 km/hr
110 km/hr
100 km/hr

Validate

Solution:

Let x and

{3x}/2

km/hr be the speeds of the car and train;
then,

{75}/x-{75×2}/{3x}

{12.5}/{60}

⇒

{75}/x-{50}/x

5/{24}

∴

{25}/x

5/{24}

∴ x =

{24}/5 × 25

= 120 km/hr
