Question

A train starts at 1:45 pm from a station at a speed of 60km/hr . At what time will it reach a station 165 km away?

Answer 1

Hello Dear.

Here is the answer----


→→→→→→→→→→

Given Conditions,

 Distance to be covered by the Train = 165 km.

Speed of the Train = 60 km/hr.

Using the Formula,

  Speed = Distance/Time
⇒ Time = 165/60
  ⇒ Time = 2.75 Hours.
               = 2 hours + 0.75 hours

Converting 0.75 hours into minutes,
  0.75 × 60 = 45 minutes
    Thus, Time = 2 hours + 45 minutes


Time at which the train starts from the Railway Station = 1:45

Thus, Time at which the Train Reaches the Station
       = 1 : 45 + 2 : 45
       = 1 hour + 45 minutes + 2 hour + 45 minutes
       = 3 hours + 90 minutes
       = 4 hour + 30 minutes
       = 4 : 30 pm.


Thus, the time at which the train arrives at the station after the journey is 4 : 30 pm.

Hope it helps.


Have a Nice day.

Answer 2

Speed of train = 60 km/h
Distance covered by train = 165 km
Now, time taken by train to cover given distance = distance/speed
= 165/60 hrs
= 33/12 hrs
= 11/4 hrs
= 2.75 hours
hence, time taken by train to cover given distance = 2hrs and 45 minutes
[∵ 0.75 hrs = 3/4 hours = 3/4 × 60 min = 45 min ]

Hence , time will it reach a station 165 km away = 1 : 45 + time taken
= 4 : 30 pm
