Detailed Solution

Suppose the speed of the train = x km/hr
Speed of the bus = y km/hr.
As we know the formula for time.

Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

Total distance = 300 km
Roohi covers 60 km by train Here,
The distance she travel by bus=300 − 60 = 240.
As, it take 4 hours for total journey, so

\frac{60}{x} + \frac{240}{y} = 4

Now, if Roohi travel 100 km by train, and (300 − 100 = 200) by bus, then it takes 10 minutes more. Thus,

\frac{100}{x} + \frac{200}{y} = 4 + \frac{10}{60}

\Rightarrow \frac{100}{x} + \frac{200}{y} = \frac{25}{6}

Suppose,

\frac{1}{x} = u

and

\frac{1}{y} = v

So, the equations become,

60 u + 240 v = 4 \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots . . (1)

100 u + 200 v = \frac{25}{6} \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots . . (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 6 we get

\begin{matrix} 300 u + 1200 v = 20 \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots (3) \\ 600 u + 1200 v = 25 \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots \dots (4) \end{matrix}

Eliminate equation (3) from (4), we get,

\begin{matrix} 300 u = 5 \\ \Rightarrow u = \frac{5}{300} = \frac{1}{60} \end{matrix}

Put the value of u in eq. (1) We get,

\Rightarrow 60 \times \frac{1}{60} + 240 v = 4

\Rightarrow 1 + 240 v = 4

\Rightarrow 240 v = 4 - 1 = 3

\Rightarrow 240 v = 3

\Rightarrow v = \frac{3}{240} = \frac{1}{80}

Now, we find the value of u and v

\frac{1}{x} = u = \frac{1}{60}

∴ x = 60

And

\frac{1}{y} = v = \frac{1}{80}

∴ y = 80

Hence, the speed of the bus = 80 km/h
Speed of train = 60 km/h.
Correct option is 4.
