Answer :
Let, the distance covered by the train = d km
Speed of the train = s km/hour
And the time taken by the train = t hour
180 = s × t …(1)
180 = (s + 9) × (t – 1) ⇒ …(2)
From eq.(1) and eq.(2)
180s + 1620 = 189s + s2
s2 + 9s – 1620 = 0
(s – 36)(s + 45) = 0
s = 36 and -45
But, speed of train is neither be negative.
So, speed of train is 36 km/hour.
OR
⇒
⇒ 3x – 8 = 2x2 – 13x + 15
⇒ 2x2 – 16x + 23 = 0
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒ and
So, the roots of the equation are and
