12. In an announcement on a railway station, a passenger hears that the last train has passed the
station t1 = 30 min earlier than his train. On the next station that is s = 20 km away from the

previous station, in another announcement he hears that the first train arrived t 2 = 20min

earlier than his train. Reading time from his watch, he calculates average speed of his train to
be vp = 60km / h. Relying on the announcements and the passenger’s calculations, determine

average speed of the first train. If the answer is n 10km / hr then write the value of n.
