A train travels at a speed of 66 km/h and halts at five junctions for a certain time. It covers a distance of 1485 km/h in one day. For how long (in minutes) does the train stop at each junctions, if it halts for the same period of time at all the junctions?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 18.
Given:
Distance = 1485 km
Speed = 66 km/hr
Formula USed:
Distance = Speed × time
Explanation:
According to the given question,
Time taken by the train if there were no halts = = 22.5 hours
But it takes 24 hours to complete the journey
So, time taken in 5 halts = 24 - 22.5 = 1.5 hours
Time taken in 1 halt = 1.5/5 = 0.3 hours = 0.3 × 60 = 18 minutes.
Hence the required answer is 18.
