5 h 30 m = 5×60 + 30 m = 330 m
In the second option of travelling, it would have taken him= 330+6 = 336 m

Let,
u and v be the speeds of the taxi and the train respectively.
So,

300/v + 200/u = 330.....(1)
260/v + 240/u = 336......(2)

Now, solve Eq 1 and 2 to obtain your result.

Distance/Speed = Distance/(Distance/time) = 1/(1/time) = time
