An express train takes 1 hour less than a passenger train to travel 132 km between Mysore and Bangalore (without taking into consideration the time they stop at intermediate stations). If the average speed of the express train is 11 km/h more than that of the passenger train, find the average speed of the two trains.
उत्तर
Let the speed of the passenger train be x km/hr.
Speed of the express train = (x + 11) km/hr
Time taken by the passenger train to cover 132 km between Mysore to Bangalore `132/x` hr
Time taken by the express train to cover 132 km between Mysore to Bangalore = `132/(x+11)` hr
Therefore,
`132/x - 132/(x + 11)` = 1
`(132(x + 11) - 132x)/(x(x + 11))` = 1
`(132x + 1452 - 132x)/(x^2 + 11)`= 1
`1452/(x^2 + 11)` = 1
1452 = x2 + 11
x2 + 11 – 1452 = 0
x2 – 33x + 44x – 1452 = 0
x(x – 33) + 44(x – 33) = 0
(x – 33)(x + 44) = 0
So, either
x – 33 = 0
x = 33
Or
x + 44 = 0
x = – 44
But, the speed of the train can never be negative.
Thus, when x = 33 then the speed of the express train
= x + 11
= 33 + 11
= 44
Hence, the speed of the passenger train is x = 33 km/hr
and the speed of the express train is x = 44 km/hr respectively.

Complete the following activity to solve the given word problem. The Sum of squares of two consecutive even natural numbers is 244, then find those numbers.
Activity: Let the first even natural number be x
Therefore its consecutive even natural number will be = (______)
By the given condition,
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 244
x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 – (______) = 0
2x2 + 4x – 240 = 0
x2 + 2x – 120 = 0
x2 + (______) – (______) – 120 = 0
x(x + 12) – (______) (x + 12) = 0
(x + 12)(x – 10) = 0
x = (______)/x = 10
But natural number cannot be negative, x = – 12 is not possible.
Therefore first even natural number is x = 10.
Second even consecutive natural number = x + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12.
