An aeroplane left 50 minutes later than its scheduled time, and in order to reach the destination, 1250 km away, in time, it had to increase its speed by 250 km/hr from its usual speed. Find its usual speed.

उत्तर
Let the usual speed of aero plane be x km/hr. Then,
Increased speed of the aero plane = (x + 250) km/hr
Time taken by the aero plane under usual speed to cover 1250 km = `1250/x`hr
Time taken by the aero plane under increased speed to cover 1250 km = `1250/(x +250)`hr
Therefore,
`1250/x-1250/(x+250)=50/60`
`(1250(x+250)-1250x)/(x(x+250))=5/6`
`(1250x+312500-1250x)/(x^2+250x)=5/6`
`312500/(x^2+250x)=5/6`
312500(6) = 5(x2 + 250x)
1875000 = 5x2 + 1250x
5x2 + 1250x - 1875000 = 0
5(x2 + 250x - 375000) = 0
x2 + 250x - 375000 = 0
x2 - 500x + 750x - 375000 = 0
x(x - 500) + 750(x - 500) = 0
(x - 500)(x + 750) = 0
So, either
x - 500 = 0
x = 500
Or
x + 750 = 0
x = -750
But, the speed of the aero plane can never be negative.
Hence, the usual speed of train is x = 500 km/hr.
