The train starts from rest and accelerates to reach a maximum velocity v after which it starts decelerating.
 
Let s be the distance covered while accelerating and so (1210 - s) will be the distance covered while decelerating.
 
Hence, we have for acceleration
 
v2 = u2 + 2as = 2as              ...... (1)
 
And we have for deceleration
 
02 = v2 + 2d(1210 - s)
-v2 = -2d(1210 - s)
v2 = 2d(1210 - s)                 ...... (2)
 
From equations (1) and (2), we have
 
 
Now, using equation v  = u + at for both cases, we have
