Without any stoppage average speed of a train is 90 km/hr and with stoppage average speed reduces to 80 km/hr . Find the total time of stoppage in total 3 hours . |
6\(\frac{2}{3}\) min 10 min 15 min 20 min |
20 min |
Distance = Speed × Time Distance covered by train without any stoppage in 3 hours = 90 km/hr × 3 hr = 270 km But it travelled = 80 km/hr × 3 hr = 240 km Time taken to travel 240 km without stoppage = \(\frac{240}{90}\) = \(\frac{24}{9}\) hours Difference in time = 3 - \(\frac{24}{9}\)= \(\frac{1}{3}\) hour = 20 min Total time of stoppage in 3 hours is 20 min . |
