A train travels at a speed of 132 km/h and halts for five junctions for a certain time. It covers a certain distance of 2970 km in one day. For how long (in minutes) does the train stop at each junction if it halts for the same period of time at all of the junctions?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Total distance can be traveled by train in 24 hours = 132 × 24 = 3168 km
Distance traveled = 2970 km
Distance not traveled = 198
Time of stoppage = \(\frac{198}{132}\) = 1.5 hour = 90 minutes
Therefore, time of stoppage at each junction = \(\frac{90}{5}\) = 18 min
