How much faster is one train from other?
Best answer
The speed of Bangalore-Mysore train is TWICE the speed of Mysore-Bangalore train.
EXPLANATION-
Let the time required to reach the meeting point is t
Speed of Bangalore-Mysore train be U
Speed of Mysore-Bangalore train be V
So,
The meeting point would be at a distance of u*t and v*t from the two stations.
Now according to the given condition
u*t = v*4
and
v*t = u*1
on taking the ratio of these 2 equations,
we have,
u/v = 4v/u
u/v = 2/1
Hence, the speed of Bangalore-Mysore train is TWICE the speed of Mysore-Bangalore train.
