A train leaves Delhi at 4 : 10 pm and reaches Aligarh at 7 : 25 pm. The average speed of the train is 40 km/h. What is the distance from Delhi to Aligarh?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 130 km
Distance = average speed × time, with the time of the journey taken in hours.
Time from 4:10 pm to 7:25 pm \(=3\) h 15 min \(\displaystyle =3\frac{1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}\) h
Distance covered at 40 km every hour \(\displaystyle =40\times\frac{13}{4}=130\) km
