Question

time taken by the express train = \frac{132}{x+11}

it is given that the express train took 1 hour less than the local train to reach 132 miles. i.e.,

\frac{132}{x} - \frac{132}{x+11} = 1

132 \left( \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x+11} \
ight) = 1

132 \left( \frac{x+11-x}{x(x+11)} \
ight) = 1

132 \left( \frac{11}{x(x+11)} \
ight) = 1

\frac{1452}{x(x+11)} = 1

on simplifying it, x^2 + 11x - 1452 = 0

value: 3
