Let Speed of train= v km/hour
Time taken to complete journey= t hour
$Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}$
$v \times t =Distance$
$v \times t =528 \dots\dots(1)$
Given that if speed increased by $\frac{11}{2} km /hour$ from its usual speed then train takes $\frac{4}{3}$ hour less.
$(v+\frac{11}{2}) \times (t-\frac{4}{3}) =528 \dots\dots(2)$
$(vt-\frac{4}{3}v+\frac{11}{2}t-\frac{44}{6}) =528 $
From (1)
$(528-\frac{4}{3}v+\frac{11}{2}t-\frac{44}{6}) =528 $
$(-\frac{4}{3}v+\frac{11}{2}t-\frac{44}{6}) =0$
$33t-8v=44$
$33\times \frac{528}{v}-8v=44$
$8v^{2}+44v-17424$
v=44 , $-\frac{99}{2}$
Hence,Option (a)44 is the correct choice.
