Let's analyze the problem. When a clock strikes 10, it chimes 10 times. The time between the first and the tenth chime is 10 seconds. This means that there are 9 intervals between the 10 chimes. 

Let's denote the time between chimes as t  seconds. Therefore, we can write the equation:

 9t = 10 

Now, when the clock strikes 12, there are 11 intervals between the 12 chimes. We can find the total time it takes to strike 12 by using the equation:

11t = Total time to strike 12

Let's calculate the total time it takes to strike 12.

The total time it takes for the clock to strike 12 is 110/9 seconds. This can be converted to a mixed number for easier understanding. Let me do that.

The total time it takes for the clock to strike 12 is \(12\frac{2}{9}\) seconds.

Solution:

The speed ratio of Rajdhani Express and Purba Express is 4:3. This means that for every 4 km that Rajdhani Express travels, Purba Express travels 3 km.

We can use this information to find the speed of Rajdhani Express.

Purba Express covers a distance of 72 km in 4 hours, so its speed is 72 km / 4 hours = 18 km/hour.

Since the speed ratio of Rajdhani Express and Purba Express is 4:3, the speed of Rajdhani Express is (4/3) * 18 km/hour = 24 km/hour.

Now that we know the speed of Rajdhani Express, we can use it to find the distance it will cover in 3 hours.

The distance covered by Rajdhani Express in 3 hours is 24 km/hour * 3 hours = 72 km.

So, Rajdhani Express will cover a distance of 72 km in 3 hours
