Question 347474: A train, after traveling for 3 hours, was detained 40 minutes. Then it proceeded at 5/6 its former rate and arrived 10 minutes late. If the delay had occurred at a point 15 kilometers farther from its destination, the train would have been only 5 minutes late. Find the rate of the train and the total distance traveled.

The train cannot arrive 5 minutes earlier if the delay happens sooner ("farther

from its destination"), because the post-delay speed is slower. There is a

typo here.
