Given:

Distance = 540km, Speed of the slower car = 90km/hr, faster car take 1 hour less then slower car to cover the same distance.

Formula:

Distance = speed × time

Calculation

Time taken by slower car = Distance/speed

⇒ Time = 540/90 = 6hrs

∴ Fast car takes 5 hour to cover the distance

∴ Speed = 540/ 5 = 108 km/hr
