    Two trains start from the same point simultaneously and in the same direction. The first train travels at 40 km/h, and the speed of the second train is 25 percent more than the speed of the first train. Thirty minutes later, a third train starts from the same point and in the same direction. It overtakes the second train 90 minutes later than it overtook the first train. What is the speed of the third train?

    If the speed of a train is increased by 5 km / hr, then the train takes 1 hour less time to cover a distance of 360km. Find the speed of the train.

    The distance between two stations is 340 km. Two trains start simultaneously from these stations on parallel tracks to cross each other. The speed of one of them is greater than that of the other by 5 km/hr. If the distance between the two trains after 2 hours of their start is 30 km, find the speed of each train.

    Two stations L and M are 180 km apart from each other. A train leaves from L to M and simultaneously another train leaves from M to L. Both trains meet after 9 hours. If the speed of the first train is 10 km/hr more than the second train, then what is the speed (in km/hr) of the slower train?
