AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the speeds of the train (let's denote it as \( x \) km/h) and the car (denote it as \( y \) km/h). We will set up equations based on the information provided in the question. ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the first scenario The man travels a total distance of 370 km. In the first scenario, he travels 250 km by train and the remaining distance by car. - Distance by car = \( 370 - 250 = 120 \) km - Time taken for the journey = 4 hours ...
