Options

• 8 hrs 40 minutes

• 8 hrs 44 minutes

• 8 hrs 48 minutes

• 8 hrs 56 minutes

Answer 1

8 hrs 44 minutes

Explanation:

Speed of Train = 120 km, Distance = 960 km

Time`="D"/"S"=960/12=8` hours

it stops at every 80 km then no. of stoppages

`=960/80=12`

For 11 stoppages time taken = 11 × 4 = 44 min

Total time is taken = 8 hrs 44 minutes.
