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

 \sf speed =  \dfrac{distance \: covered}{time \: taken}

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
