Two places A and B are 162 kms apart. A train leaves A for

Two places A and B are 162 kms apart. A train leaves A for B and at the same time another train leaves B for A. The two trains meet at the end of 6 hours. If the train travelling from A to B travels 8 km per hr. faster than the other, find the speed of the faster train.

Both trains meet after 6 hours.
∴ The relative speed of two trains

=	162	= 27 km per hr.

The speed of the slower train starting from B

=	27 − 8	=	19	=9	1	km per hr.

∴ The speed of the faster train

= 9	1	+ 8 = 17	1	km per hr.
