A train covers a distance of 56 km in 35 minutes. Travelling at the same speed, in how many seconds will the train cover a distance of 720 metres?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 27.
Given that
The train covers a distance of 56 km in 35 minutes = 56,000 m in 35 minutes
The distance covered by the train in 1 minute = = 1,600 m
The train covers 1,600 m in 60 seconds
The time taken by the train to cover 720 m = = 27 seconds.
