A train can travel faster than a car. Both start from point A at the same time and reach point B, away from A, at the same time. On the way, however, the train lost about minutes while stopping at the stations. The speed of the car is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the speed of the car be .
The train travels faster than the car, so the speed of the train is:
The total distance is .
The time taken by the car is hours.
The time taken by the train while moving is hours.
The difference between their travel times is due to the minutes the train stopped at stations. Let's convert minutes into hours:
Set up the time difference equation:
The speed of the car is .
