Two trains start simultaneously from two stations Howrah and Bandra, respectively towards each other on the same track. The distance between the two stations is 560 km and the speed of trains are 30 and 40 km/h. Simultaneously with the trains, a sparrow sitting on the top of one of the train starts towards the other and reverses its direction on reaching the other train and so on. If the speed of sparrow is 80 km/h then the distance that the sparror flies before being crushed between the train is :

The distance between two stations is 425 km. Two trains start simultaneously from these stations on parallel tracks to cross each other. The speed of one of them is greaten than that of the other by 5 km/h. If the distance between the two trains after 3 hours of their start is 20 km, find the speed of each train. Check your solution.

The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 7:8. If the second train runs 400 kms in 4 hours, then the speed of the first train is:
