some part of a journey of 780 km was made by a car with speed of 60 km per hour and the remaining journey was made by train with a the speed of 100 km per hour.if the total time required was 9 hours find the time taken by train and distance covered by train
Let time taken by train be T

Then we get the following DISTANCE equation: 

Solve this for T, the time traveled by train

Multiply value of T by 100 to get distance traveled by train



OR



Let distance by train be D

Then we get the following TIME equation: 

Solve this for D, the distance by train

Divide value of D by 100 to get time taken to travel by train
