Answer : 1. "84 km/hr"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 84 km/hr Explanation: Let the speeds of the car, train and bus be 5x, 9x and 4x km/hr respectively.Average speed = 5x + 9x + 4x/3 = 18x /3 = 6x km/hr.Also, 6x = 72 => x = 12 km/hrTherefore, the average speed of the car and train together is = 5x+9x2= 7x = 7 x 12 = 84 km/hr.

Answer : 2. "9 kms"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 9 kms Explanation: The first train covers 180 kms in 5 hrs => Speed = 180/5 = 36 kmph Now the second train covers the same distance in 1 hour less than the first train => 4 hrs => Speed of the second train = 180/4 = 45 kmph Now, required difference in distance in 1 hour = 45 - 36 = 9 kms.
