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.

Two trains start from the same place. A person travel in a train whose speed is 50 km/h and it go to south direction. Another person travel in another train whose speed is 60 km/h and it go to west direction. After two hours, find the rate of distance between them.

A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/h more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train.

Represent the following situations in the form of quadratic equation: A train travels a distance of 480 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 8 km/h less, then it would have taken 3 hours more to cover the same distance. We need to find the speed of the train

Two ships leave a port at the same time. One goes 24 km per hour in the direction N45^(@)E and other travels 32km per hour in the directions S75^(@)E . Find the distance between the ships at the end of 3 hours.

A train, travelling at 20 km//hr is approaching a platform. A bird is sitting on a pole on the platform. When the train is at a distance of 2 km from pole, breakes are applied which produce auniform deceleration in it. At that instant the bird flies towards the train at 60 km//hr and after touching the nearest point on the train flies back to the pole and then flies towards the train and continues repeating itself. Calculate how much distance will the bird have flown before the train stops?

A train covers the first half of the distance between two stations at a speed of 40 km//h and the other half at 60km/h. Thenits average speed :-

The distance between two stations is 40 km. A train takes 1 hour to travel this distance. The train, after starting from first station, moves with constant acceleration for 5 km, then it moves with constant velocity for 20 km and finally its velocity keeps on decreasing continuously for 15 km and it stops at the other station. Find the maximum velocity of the train.
