Q:
A train covers 180 km distance in 5 hours. Another train covers the same distance in 1 hour less. What is the difference in the distances covered by these trains in one hour if they are moving in the same direction?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) 9 kms
Explanation: The first train covers 180 kms in 5 hrs
=> Speed = 180/5 = 36 kmph
Now the second train covers the same distance in 1 hour less than the first train => 4 hrs
=> Speed of the second train = 180/4 = 45 kmph
Now, required difference in distance in 1 hour = 45 - 36 = 9 kms.
