your answer is a) 3 hours

Distance travelled by Tom in train in 1 hr = 55 miles
Distance travelled by Tom by plane in 1 hr = 285 miles 
Total distance travelled by Tom in 1 hr = 285+55 = 340 miles 
Time taken by Tom to travel a distance of 340 miles = 1 hr 
Time taken by Tom to travel a distance of 1,020 miles = 1,020/340 = 3 hrs

Distance travelled in Train in one Hour = 55 miles

Distance travelled in Plane in one Hour = 258 miles

Total distances Travelled in 1 hour = 285 + 55 = 340 miles

Total time taken during the trip of 1020 miles = 1020/340 = 3 ( Ans )


Hence your answer is option a ) 3 hours
