The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find out how many minutes the train stops per hour given its speeds with and without stoppage. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the speeds**: - Speed without stoppage = 54 km/h - Speed with stoppage = 45 km/h 2. **Calculate the distance covered in one hour without stoppage**: - Distance = Speed × Time - Distance without stoppage in 1 hour = 54 km/h × 1 hour = 54 km 3. **Calculate the distance covered in one hour with stoppage**: - Distance with stoppage in 1 hour = 45 km/h × 1 hour = 45 km 4. **Determine the distance difference**: - Distance difference = Distance without stoppage - Distance with stoppage - Distance difference = 54 km - 45 km = 9 km 5. **Calculate the time taken to cover the distance difference at the speed without stoppage**: - Time taken to cover 9 km at 54 km/h = Distance / Speed - Time = 9 km / 54 km/h = 1/6 hours 6. **Convert the time taken into minutes**: - Time in minutes = (1/6 hours) × 60 minutes/hour = 10 minutes 7. **Conclusion**: - The train stops for **10 minutes per hour**.
