Question

Gill leave Lille by train at 09:00. The train travels the first 27km at 96 km/h. It

then stops at Lens for 3 minutes before travelling the final 29km to Lillers at 96 km/h. At
what time does Gill arrive at Lillers?
A 09:35
B 09:38
C 09:40
D 09:41
E 09:43

Answer 1

Okay, here are the steps to solve this problem:

1) Gill leaves Lille by train at 09:00.

2) The train travels 27km at 96km/h. 27km / 96km/h = 0.2833h = 17min

3) So the train will arrive at Lens at 09:17 (09:00 + 17min)

4) The train stops at Lens for 3 minutes. 3min = 0.05h

5) So the train leaves Lens at 09:22 (09:17 + 3min = 0.05h)

6) The train then travels 29km at 96km/h. 29km / 96km/h = 0.3021h = 18min

7) So the train will arrive at Lillers at 09:40 (09:22 + 18min)

Therefore, the answer is C 09:40

Answer 2

We can start by finding the time it takes for Gill to travel the first 27km:

Time taken = Distance / Speed = 27km / 96 km/h = 0.28125 hours

Next, we need to account for the 3-minute stop in Lens. Since 1 hour has 60 minutes, 3 minutes is 3/60 = 0.05 hours.

The total time taken for the journey from the start to Lens is:

0.28125 hours + 0.05 hours = 0.33125 hours

Now we need to find the time it takes for Gill to travel the final 29km:

Time taken = Distance / Speed = 29km / 96 km/h = 0.30208 hours

Adding the time taken for the first part of the journey to the time taken for the second part gives the total time taken for the journey:

0.33125 hours + 0.30208 hours = 0.63333 hours

Finally, we can add this time to the departure time of 09:00 to find the arrival time:

09:00 + 0.63333 hours = 09:38 (rounded to the nearest minute)

ANSWER IS B
