5. After covering a distance of 30 km with a uniform speed there is some defect in train engine and therefore, its speed is reduced to 4/5 of its original speed. Consequently, train reaches its destination late by 45 minutes. Had it happened after covering 18 km more, reached 9 minutes earlier. Find the speed of the train and the distance of covered.
