A train and a car start together from a point. The train's speed is 80 kmph and the car's speed is 60% of the train's speed. The train crosses a station in 15 minutes. How much distance will the car travel in the time the train takes to cross 3 stations? (Assume constant distance between consecutive stations)
36 km
First we need to find the speed of the car according to the given question the speed of the car is 80 × 0.6=48kmph
Now the distance covered by the train in 15 minutes = 1560×80 = 20km
Now, the distance between 3 stations is 20 x 3 = 60 km
Since distance is directly proportional to the speed
4880 = x60
Hence, x = 36 km
