Problem Analysis

We are given that a cyclist traveled from a village to a train station and then returned. On the return journey, the cyclist increased their speed by 1 km/h compared to the journey to the station. Additionally, the return journey took 2 minutes less than the journey to the station. We need to determine the speed at which the cyclist traveled to the station, given that the distance between the village and the station is 8 km.

Solution

Let's assume the speed of the cyclist on the journey to the station is x km/h. Since the distance is the same for both the journey to the station and the return journey, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

For the journey to the station, the distance is 8 km and the speed is x km/h. Therefore, the time taken for the journey to the station is:

Time to station = Distance / Speed = 8 / x hours

On the return journey, the cyclist increased their speed by 1 km/h, so the speed is now x + 1 km/h. The time taken for the return journey is 2 minutes less than the time taken for the journey to the station. Since 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, we can convert the 2 minutes to hours by dividing by 60:

2 minutes = 2 / 60 hours = 1 / 30 hours

Therefore, the time taken for the return journey is:

Time back = Time to station - 1/30 hours = 8 / x - 1/30 hours

According to the problem, the return journey took 2 minutes less than the journey to the station. This means that the time back is equal to the time to station minus 2 minutes. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

8 / x - 1/30 = 8 / x

To solve this equation, we can multiply both sides by 30x to eliminate the denominators:

30x * (8 / x - 1/30) = 30x * (8 / x)

Simplifying the equation gives us:

240 - x = 240

Now, we can solve for x:

-x = 0

Since -x = 0, we can conclude that x = 0.

However, this result doesn't make sense in the context of the problem. It is not possible for the cyclist to have a speed of 0 km/h. Therefore, there must be an error in the problem statement or the calculations.

Please double-check the problem statement or provide any additional information if available.
