    A car runs 180 km in 3 hours and a train travels 360 km in 4 ours. Find the ratio of the speed of the car to the train.

    The distance between station A and B by road is 240 km and by train it is 300 km. A car starts from station A with a speed x km/hr whereas a train starts from station B with a speed 20km/hr more than the speed of the car. If the time taken by train is 1 hour less than that taken by the car, then the quadratic equation formed is:
