Let the speed of train and taxi be x km/hr and y km/hr respectively.
Now,
time taken by train to cover 300 km 
and time taken by taxi to cover 200 km 
also
total time taken = 5 hours 30 minutes


also time taken by train to cover 260 km 
time taken by taxi to cover 240 km 
and total time taken = 5 hours 30 minutes + 6 minutes
= 5 hours 36 minutes 


Putting
and
in (1) and (2) we get
600 u + 400 v = 11 ... (3)
325 u + 300 v = 7 ... (4)
Solving (3) and (4)

? x = 100 and y = 80
Hence the speed of the train is 100 km/hr
and the speed of the taxi is 80 km/hr
Let the speed of train and taxi be x km/hr and y km/hr respectively.
Now,
time taken by train to cover 300 km
and time taken by taxi to cover 200 km
also
total time taken = 5 hours 30 minutes
also time taken by train to cover 260 km
time taken by taxi to cover 240 km
and total time taken = 5 hours 30 minutes + 6 minutes
= 5 hours 36 minutes
Putting and
in (1) and (2) we get
600 u + 400 v = 11 ... (3)
325 u + 300 v = 7 ... (4)
Solving (3) and (4)
? x = 100 and y = 80
Hence the speed of the train is 100 km/hr
and the speed of the taxi is 80 km/hr
