Let the speed of the passenger train be x km/hr. Then, the speed of express train will be (x + 11)km/hr
Time taken by the express train to cover 132 km {tex} = \frac{{132}}{x+11}hrs{/tex}
Time taken by the passenger train to cover 132 km {tex} = \frac{{132}}{x }hrs{/tex}

According to the question ;
{tex}\therefore \frac{{132}}{{x }} - \frac{{132}}{x+11} = 1{/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow \frac{{132(x+11) - 132x }}{{x(x +11)}} = 1{/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 132x - 132x + 1452 = x(x +11)
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 1452 = x2 + 11x
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} x2 + 11x - 1452 = 0 , This is the required quadratic equation.
