Let usual speed be x km/h (300/x) - (300/(x+5)) = 2 solving it we get quadratic equation x2+5x-750=0 solving it get x=25 km/h. Hence usual speed of train is 25 km/h.

prove that 0/0 =2

 
this is a conceptually wrong question as 0/0 does not give a unique value. hence division by 0 is undefined. how? 0/0 = (0 * 2)/0 = 2 (cancelling 0 from both numerator and dinominator). now you see you...

In a class test, the sum of marks obtained by P in Mathematics and Science is 28. Had he got 3 more marks in Mathematics and 4 marks less in Science, the product of marks obtained in the two subjects would have been 180? Find the marks obtained in two subjects separately.
Let the no. of marks obtained in Maths = x & no. of marks obtained in Science = 28-x It is given that (x+3)(28-x-4) = 180 (x+3)(24-x)=180 24x-x2+72-3x=180 x2-21x+108 = 0 x2-12x-9x+108=0 x(x-12)-9(x-12)=0 (x-9)(x-12)=0 therefore...

Find the HCF of 52 and 117 and express it in form 52x + 117y.
From Euclid's division lemma,we know that a=bq+r,Since 117>52 ,we can take a=117 & b=52 Now,117=52*2+13(52 is divisor) so,52=13*4+0,the division process stops here,as the remainder becomes 0. Hence...
