Answer: 112.5 km/h
Given parameters
Total time (t) = 19 hours
The train has completed journey of = 10 hours
The average speed of the train = 100km per hour
Let us calculate the total distance train has to travel
Total distance = Speed x time
Total distance = 19 hours x 100 km/hrs
Total distance = = 1900 km
The distance covered by the train in 10 hours is
⇒ 10 hours x 100 km/hrs
⇒ 1,000 km
Because of the distribution of rail traffic the waiting time is 1 hour.
Total travelling time = 10 hours travelling + 1 hour waiting time
∴ Total travelling time = 11 hours
The distance covered by the time during the duration of 11 hours is 1,000km
Let us calculate the time left to reach the destination
⇒ 19 hours – 11 hours
⇒ 8 hours
So the distance to be covered in 8 hours = 1900 km -1000 km
The distance to be covered in 8 hours = 900 km
Speed necessary to reach on same time = Balance Distance / balance Time
Speed necessary to reach on same time = 900km / 8 hours
Speed necessary to reach on same time = 112.5 km/h
In order to complete the journey at the same time the train should achieve a speed of 112.5 km/h to cover the 1-hour delay.
