Q.13. Only a single rail track exists between stations A and B on a railway
line. One hour after the north-bound super-fast train N leaves Station
A for Station B, a south-bound passenger train S reaches Station A
from Station B. The speed of the super-fast train is twice that of a
normal express train E, while the speed of a passenger train S is half
that of E. On a particular day N leaves for station B from Station A, 20
minutes behind normal schedule. In order to maintain the schedule
both N and S increased their speed. If the super-fast train doubles its
speed, what should be the ratio (approximately) of the speed of
passenger train to that of the super-fast train so that passenger train
S reaches exactly at the scheduled time at station A on that day.
