A train’s journey is disrupted due to an accident on its track after it has travelled 30 km. Its speed then comes down to 4/5th of its original and consequently it runs 45 min late. Had the accident taken place 18 km farther away, it would have been 36min late. Find the original speed of the train

A

25 km/h and 40 km/h

B

36 km/h

C

30 km/h

D

20 km/h

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote the original speed of the train as \( x \) km/h. ### Step 1: Understand the situation after the accident The train travels 30 km before the accident. After the accident, its speed reduces to \( \frac{4}{5}x \) km/h.

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