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 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 the junctions?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Time taken by men without stoppage = \(\frac{Distance}{Speed}\)
= \(\frac{1485}{66}\) = 22.5 hours
Time taken to cover 1485 km with stoppage = 24 hours
Total Stoppage time of 5 junctions = 24 - 22.5 = 1.5 hours
Stoppage time of 1 junction = \(\frac{1.5}{5}\) = 0.3 hours
= 18 minutes ( 1 hour = 60 minutes )
