The correct answer is:
and respectively
When 4 coaches (m each) are attached with engine (2m)
According to question, .......(1)
(constant power), (K being proportionally constant)
Since resistive force is proportional to weight
Now if 12 coaches are attached
......(2)
So by equation (1) and (2)
Similarly for 6 coaches,
