Question
On a railway station, a train arrives 10 MINUTES LATE. This train departs 15 minutes after its arrival. Abhishek boards this train at 5:10 pm, five minutes before its departure.What was the SCHEDULED arrival time of this train?
Solution
To find the scheduled arrival time of the train, we need to work backwards from the time Abhishek boards the train.
-
Abhishek boards the train at 5:10 pm, five minutes before its departure. This means the train departs at 5:15 pm.
-
The train arrived at the station 15 minutes before its departure. So, it arrived at 5:15 pm - 15 minutes = 5:00 pm.
-
However, this train was 10 minutes late. Therefore, the scheduled arrival time of the train was 5:00 pm - 10 minutes = 4:50 pm.
So, the scheduled arrival time of the train was 4:50 pm.
