Problems Based on Speed
Solving Statements Involving Speed
Solving Statements Involving Speed: In these types of problems we consider the relative speed of the two objects. When the two objects are moving in the same direction, the relative speed is the difference of the speed of the two objects. When the two objects are moving in the opposite direction , the relative speed is found as the sum of speed of the two objects.
For Example: The distance between two points A and B is 340 Km. Two trains start together one from station A and other from station B , The speed of one train is 5 km/hr more than the other train. If the distance between the two trains after two hours is 30 km. Find the speed of the two trains.
Let the speed of one train = x km/hr
Speed of other train will be = x +5 km/hr
Distance = Speed X time
Distance travelled by first train in two hours = 2x
Distance travelled by the second train in two hours = (x+5) X 2= 2x+10
Distance between the two trains after two hours = 30km
According to the question
Distance travelled by one train + distance travelled by second train + 30 = 340
2x+ 2x+ 10 + 30 = 340
4x+ 40 = 340
4x= 300
x= 75 km/hr
Speed of one train = 75 kmhr
Speed of second train = 75 + 5 = 80 kmhr
An express train covers 240 km at a certain speed. Another train, whose speed is 12 km/hr less, takes an hour longer to cover the same distance. Find the speed of the express train in km/hr. | |||

A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
