Speed of Paschim Express = 60 kmph
Starting Time = 14.30 hour
Speed of August Kranti Express = 80 kmph
Starting time = 16.30 hours
So, the distance covered by Paschim Express in 2 hours = speed × time = 60 × 2 = 120 kms
According to the statement,
Reaching time is the same = y hours
Let distance covered by August Kranti Express = x km
Let the distance covered by Paschim Express = (x - 120) kms.
So , y =
... (i)
y =
... (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
=
60x = 80x - 9,600
20x = 9,600
x = 480 kms
