Answer :
- The distance between the two stations = 360km
Given :
- A high speed train travels at a speed of 200 km/h
- If the train sets off from station A at 12 : 24 hours and reaches station B to 14 : 12 hours
To find :
- Distance between the two stations
Solution :
Given that, A high speed train travels at a speed of 200km/hr so,
- Speed = 200 km/hr
The train sets off from the station A at 12 : 24 hours and reaches station B at 14 : 12 hours so,
- Total time travelled = 12 : 24 to 13 : 24 + 13 : 24 to 14 : 12
Finding the total time travelled
➨ Total time travelled = 12 : 24 to 13 : 24 + 13 : 24 to 14 : 12
Here,
- 12 : 24 to 13 : 24 = 1 hour
- 13 : 24 to 14 : 12 = 0.8 hour
➨ Total time travelled = 1 hour + 0.8 hours
➨ Total time travelled = 1.8 hour
Total time travelled = 1.8 hours
Now finding the distance between the two station :
We know that
- Distance = Speed/Time
➨ Distance = 200/1.8
➨ Distance = 360km
Hence , The distance between the two stations = 360km
