Multiple choice (select 1 out 4 option for the question below)Excluding stoppages the speed of a train is 45kmph and including it is 36 kmph. How many minutes does the train stop per hour?
Solution
The difference in speed is due to the time the train stops.
-
First, we need to find the difference in speed. The speed of the train excluding stoppages is 45 kmph and including stoppages is 36 kmph. So, the difference is 45 - 36 = 9 kmph.
-
This means that the train effectively travels 9 km less per hour due to stoppages.
-
Now, we need to find out how long it takes for the train to travel this 9 km at its original speed (45 kmph).
-
The time taken to cover a certain distance is given by the formula: Time = Distance/Speed. Substituting the given values, we get Time = 9/45 = 0.2 hours.
-
Since we need the answer in minutes, we convert 0.2 hours into minutes by multiplying by 60 (since 1 hour = 60 minutes). So, 0.2 * 60 = 12 minutes.
So, the train stops for 12 minutes per hour.
