When a train travels a distance of 100 km with it’s original speed develops a problem in the engine and proceeds at \( \frac{1}{4} \) th of its original speed and arrives at the destination 50 minutes late. Had the problem developed 20 km further, the train would have arrived at the destination only 20 min late. Find the original speed of the train.
