distance=360 km time difference b/w both speed = 48/60 hr let speed of train is x km/hr then time taken by train when speed is x km/hr = 360/x hr time taken by train when speed is x+5 km/hr = 360/(x+5) hr A/C to question 360/x = 360/(x+5) +48/60 after solving this equation you will get the original speed...

Let original speed of train = x km/h We know, Time = distance/speed First case: Time taken by train = 360/x hour Second case: Time taken by train its speed increase 5 km/h = 360/(x + 5) Time taken by train in first - time taken by train in 2nd case = 48 min = 48/60 hour 360/x - 360/(x +5) = 48/60...

Will 59.4% marks read as 60% or not in Aggregate/gross marks? Without decimal what will be the Aggregate /gross marks of 59.4% marks.
No, because if you round off to 59.4%, you will get 59%. If it could have been 59.5% or more, then you could have round it off to 60%.
