Q32 of 40 Page 1

A train covers a distance of 480 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 8 km/h less, then it would have taken 3 hours more to cover the same distance. Find the original speed of the train.

Let the speed of train be ‘x’ km/h.


Time taken to cover 480 km [ time = ]


Given,


Time taken with speed (x – 8) = Time taken originally + 3 hours










or x = – 32 [Negative speed not possible]


Speed = 40 km/h.
