Practicing Success
Including stoppages the speed of a bus is 60 km/hr and excluding stoppages its speed is 65 km/hr. For how long the bus stops in an hour? |
6 min 7 min 4 min 3 min |
4 min |
Without stoppage speed = 65 Km/hr It means, the bus goes: 65 km in = 60 min 01 km in = \(\frac{60}{65}\) min 05 km in = \(\frac{60}{65}\) × 05 min = 4.6 min (approx) ....(i) Now, With stoppage, speed of bus = 60 Km/hr The bus goes 60 km in = 60 min. It means, the bus cannot travels 5 km due to stoppage and it can go 05 km in 4.6 min as eq.-(i) Therefore, the bus stops for 4.6 min or 4 min (as per option) in one hour.
