With stoppage, the speed of a train is 36 km/hr. However without stoppage, it is 40 km/hr. Find out for how many minutes does the train stop per hour?

  • A.6 minutes
  • B.8 minutes
  • C.10 minutes
  • D.4 minutes

Answer: A

In one hour of clock time the train covers 36 km instead of 40, losing 4 km of travel.

\[ t = \frac{4}{40} \text{ h} = \frac{1}{10} \text{ h} = 6 \text{ minutes} \]

The lost distance is timed at the running speed of 40 km/hr, since that is the speed it would have been covered at.
