127.179(app)
given distance of the train along the wind is 695
and againt the wind is 498
and time = distance/speed
as we know that time is equal in both the cases hence equate
695/s1=498/s2———–(1);
where s1=speed of the plane + speed of the wind
and s2=speed of the plane -speed of the wind
given that speed of the wind is 21k/h
s1=sp+21
s2=sp-21
substitu in eq 1
we get the answer as 27.17(app)

1km = 1000m
Xkm = 300m
X=0.30km

1hr = 3,600s
X = 40.5s
0.01125hr
Therefore; 0.3km/0.1125hr= 26.6666=26.67km/hr

let the 4 digit number be ABCD.
First Digit is A :
Therefore; according to the question
A=B/3
B=3A
C=A+B=A+3A=4A
D=3B=3(3A)=9A
Since the last Digit is D and it can neither be double-digit nor 0 ;
Therefore ;
A=1;
B=3A=3(1)=3
C=A+B=1+3=4
D=9A=9(1)=9
Therefore, the 4 digit number is 1349.
