Question

A high-speed train travels at a speed of 200km/h. If the train sets off from Station A at 12 24 and reaches station B at 14 12, find the distance between the two stations.

Answer 1

Given:

Speed to train = 200km/h

The train sets off from Station A at 12:24.

Reaches station B at 14:12.

To find:

The distance between both stations.

Solution:

We have,

Speed to train = 200km/h

Time taken by the train to cover the distance between station A and station B is the difference between 14:12 and 12:24.

Time = 1 hr 48 min

Time = 1.8 hours [ 1 hr = 60 minutes]

Let d be the distance between both stations.

We know that,

`Speed=(Distance)/(Time)`

`200=(d)/(1.8)`

`200* 1.8=d`

`360=d`

Therefore, the distance between the two stations is 360 km.
