Answer:
The time taken to cover 240 kilometre by the train is 24000 sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
A train takes 3 hours to reach station b from station a which is 144 kilometre away.
To find :
the time taken to cover 240 kilometre
Solution :
First,we have to find the speed of the train. Then by using the speed formula, we can find the time taken by the train to cover 240 km
Distance covered = 144 km
time taken = 3 hours
Substitute,
Speed = 144 km/4 hr
Speed = 36 kmph
Therefore, speed of the train is 36 kmph
Distance covered = 240 km
Speed = 36 kmph
Time taken = t
Substitute,
36 kmph = 240 km/t
t = 240/36
t = 20/3 hr
t = 20/3 × 60 min
t = 400 min
t = 400 × 60 sec
t = 24000 sec
Therefore,the time taken to cover 240 kilometre by the train is 24000 sec
