Train Car Speed Dab39E
1. **Problem statement:**
A local train travels 50% faster than Rohan's car. Both start from Dadar and reach Borivali, 30 km away, at the same time. The train loses 5 minutes due to stops. Find the speed of the car.
2. **Define variables:**
Let the speed of the car be $x$ km/hr.
Then, the speed of the train is $1.5x$ km/hr (50% faster).
3. **Time taken by car:**
$$\text{Time}_{car} = \frac{30}{x} \text{ hours}$$
4. **Time taken by train (including stops):**
Train runs at $1.5x$ km/hr, so running time without stops:
$$\frac{30}{1.5x} = \frac{20}{x} \text{ hours}$$
Train loses 5 minutes = $\frac{5}{60} = \frac{1}{12}$ hours.
Total train time:
$$\frac{20}{x} + \frac{1}{12}$$
5. **Since both reach at the same time:**
$$\frac{30}{x} = \frac{20}{x} + \frac{1}{12}$$
6. **Solve for $x$:**
Subtract $\frac{20}{x}$ from both sides:
$$\frac{30}{x} - \frac{20}{x} = \frac{1}{12}$$
$$\frac{10}{x} = \frac{1}{12}$$
Multiply both sides by $x$ and 12:
$$10 \times 12 = x$$
$$x = 120$$
7. **Answer:**
The speed of the car is **120 km/hr**.
