Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 112.5 minutes

Given:

Without stopped, a passenger train runs at an average of 120 km/h, whereas with stoppages, it runs at an average speed of 80 km/h. 

Concept used:

Time and distance

Calculation:

Time = \(\frac{{{\rm{Without\ stoppages\ - \ with\ stoppages}}}}{{{\rm{without\ stopages}}}}\)

⇒ \(\frac{{120 - 80}}{{120}}\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{3} \times 60 = 20\min \)

It stops for 20 min per hour.

For stoppages 

⇒ \(\frac{{450}}{{80}} \times 20 = 112.5\min \)
