<u>Answer:</u>

The speed of plane is 875 km/h and speed of wind is 125 km/hr

<u>Explanation: </u>

Assuming v the speed of plane and w the speed of wind

Then, the overall speed will be given as (v+w)

The speed is calculated by the formula;

$\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Time }}$

For tailwind, given distance travelled is 3000 km in 3 hrs

Putting the values in the formula;

(v+w) =  $\frac{3000}{3}$

(v+w) = 1000              ……eqn (1)

Similarly, for headwind, given distance travelled is 3000 km in 4 hrs

(v-w) =  $\frac{3000}{4}$

(v-w) = 750   ……eqn (2)

Adding (1) and (2), we get

2v = 1750

v = 875 km/hr

putting value in eqn (1), we get: w = 125  km/hr

Therefore, the speed of plane is 875 km/h and speed of wind is 125 km/hr.
