3. An express train takes 1 hour less than a passenger train to travel 132 km between Mysore
and Bangalore. If the average speed of express train is 11 km/hr more than that of passenger
train, form the quadratic equation to find the average speed of the express train.
4. A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/hr more, it would
have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Form the quadratic equation to find the speed
of the train.
