An express train takes 1 hour less than ...

An express train takes 1 hour less than a passenger train to travel 132 km between Mysore and Bangalroe. if the average speed of the express train is 11 km/hr more than that of the passenger train, form the quadratic equation to find the average speed of express train.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the speed of the passenger train be `x {km} / {hr}`. Then,
Speed of the express train `=(x+11) {km} / hr`
Time taken by the passenger train to cover `132 ~km` between Mysore to Bangalore `frac{132}{x} hr`
Time taken by the express train to cover `132 ~km` between Mysore to Bangalore `=frac{132}{x+11} hr`
Therefore,
`frac{132}{x}-frac{132}{x+11}=1`
`frac{132(x+11)-132 x}{x(x+11)}=1`
`frac{132 x+1452-132 x}{x^{2}+11}=1`
