Question 7:
A train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train would have been faster, it would have taken hours less than the scheduled time. And, if the train were slower by , it would have taken hours more than the scheduled time. Find the distance covered by the train.
Answer:
Let the speed of the train be x km/h and the time taken by train to travel the given distance be hours and the distance to travel be .
Since Speed
According to the question
Again,
Adding equations (2) and (3), we obtain:
Substituting the value of x in equation (2), we obtain:
From equation (1), we obtain:
Thus, the distance covered by the train is .
Question 8:
