A train travels the distance between stations P and Q at a speed of 126 km/h, while in the opposite direction it comes back at 90 km/h. Another train travels the same distance at the average speed of the first train. The time taken by the second train to travel 525 km is:
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Average speed}} = \frac{{2 \times 90 \times 126}}{{216}} \cr
& = \frac{{2 \times 5 \times 126}}{{12}} \cr
& = 105{\text{ km/h}} \cr
& {\text{Time}} = \frac{{525}}{{105}} = 5{\text{ hours}} \cr} $$
