C 65 mins
D 75 mins

Answer 1

It took the train B, 55 minutes.

Answer 2

55 minutes

Explanation:

This is quite a simple question, all its asking you to do is calculate how long the train journey took by using its departure and arrival times.

The train left at 10:20

The train arrived at 11:15

We know that if the train journey took one hour it would arrive at 11:20, however we have been told that the journey actually took five minutes less if it arrived at 11:15

60 minutes are in an hour, let's use this

60 - 5 = 55 minutes!
