Question

Aptitude:

If a train runs at 40 km/hr. It reaches its destination late by 11 minutes. But if it runs at 50km/hr, it is late by 5 minutes. Find the correct time for the train to complete its journey.

  • 18 minutes
  • 19 minutes
  • 20 minutes
  • 21 minutes
  • None of these
Answer- B

Speed = 40 kmph = 40/60 km/minute=2/3  km/minute  ,50 kmph = 50/60 km/minute=5/6  km/minute

If distance= x km and actual time t minutes

Y/(2/3) =t+11 ----------(1)

Y/(5/6)= t+5 ----------(2)

After equating,

 3Y/2 – 6Y/5 =6 => (15Y – 12Y)/10 = 6  =>Y = 20KM.

From Equation 1, t = 30-11=19 minutes.
