A train travels at the speed of 65 km/h and halts at 8 junctions for certain time. If covers a distance of 1300 kms in 1 day. How long does the train stop at each junction, if it halts for the same period of time at all the junctions.


A) 30 min

B) 40 min

C) 50 min

D) 10 min

E) 15 min

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Speed = 65 km/h, Distance = 1300 kms

Time $=\frac{1300}{65}$ = 20 h

Clearly $24-20=4$ h are spent at 8 junction in stoppage.

Time taken by the train to halt in each junction $=\frac{(60\times 4)}{8}$ = 30 min
