A train after traveling for 50km meets with an accident and then proceeds at 3/4 of its former speed and arrives at its destination 35 minutes late . Had the accident occurred 24 km farther, it would have reached the destination only 25 minutes late. What is the speed Y of the train.  Choose the correct answer.
A) 45	B) 33	C) 48	D) 55	E) 61

Rationale: "let y be the balance distance to be covered and x be the former speed . a train after traveling for 50 km meets with an accident and then proceeds at 3 / 4 of its former speed and arrives at its destination 35 minutes late so , y / ( 3 x / 4 ) - y / x = 35 / 60 4 y / 3 x - y / x = 7 / 12 y / x ( 4 / 3 - 1 ) = 7 / 12 y / x * 1 / 3 = 7 / 12 y / x = 7 / 4 4 y - 7 x = 0 . . . . . . . . 1 had the accident occurred 24 km farther , it would have reached the destination only 25 minutes late so , ( y - 24 ) / ( 3 x / 4 ) - ( y - 24 ) / x = 25 / 60 4 ( y - 24 ) / 3 x - ( y - 24 ) / x = 5 / 12 ( y - 24 ) / x ( 4 / 3 - 1 ) = 5 / 12 ( y - 24 ) / x * 1 / 3 = 5 / 12 ( y - 24 ) * 12 = 3 x * 5 ( y - 24 ) * 4 = 5 x 4 y - 5 x = 96 . . . . . . . 2 eq 2 - eq 1 2 x = 96 x = 48 = y ans = c"
Answer: C
