A train after travelling 150 km meets with an accident and then proceed at 3/5 of its former speed and arrived at its destination 8 hrs late. Had the accident occured 360 km further it would have reached the destination 4hrs late. What is the total distance travelled by train..?​

Answer:

Distance =360

If x is the original speed, then difference in time = 360/(3x/5)-360/x=4

Solving, we get x=60 km/hr

If T is the total hrs, then

60T=150+60×3/5×(T+8−2.5)

Solving, we get T=14.5 hrs

and distance =60×14.5=870 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Distance =360

If x is the original speed, then difference in time =

(3x/5)

360

x

360

=4

Solving, we get x=60 km/hr

If T is the total hrs, then

60T=150+60×

×(T+8−2.5)

Solving, we get T=14.5 hrs

and distance =60×14.5=870 km
