In this total journey the train takes 6 halts in different places of 6 minutes, 12 minutes, 10 minutes, 8 minutes, 13 minutes and 11 minutes. Find out the speed of this train.1. 50 km/h2. 60 km/h3. 40 km/h4. 45 km/h5. 55 km/h

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 50 km/h

Given:

The train travels 450 km total in 10 hours

Formula used:

Distance = Speed of a train × Time taken

Calculation:

Train takes total (6 + 12 + 10 + 8 + 13 + 11) = 60 minutes = 1 hour as halt

Actual time taken by the train (10 – 9) = 9 hours

Speed of the train = 450/9 km/h

⇒ 50 km/h

∴ The speed of the train is 50 km/h
