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 Bangaluru (without taking into consideration the time they stop at intermediate stations). If the average speed of the express train is 11km/h more than that of the passenger train, find the average speed of the two trains.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Speed of the passenger train = 33 kmph
Speed of the express train = 44 kmph
