A generic bullet train covers a distance between two stations in 2 hours 30 minutes at a speed of 120 km/h. How much time will it take to cover the same distance at a speed of 150 km/h?
A. 2.2 hours
B. 2 hours
C. 1.5 hours
D. 2.15 hours
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Distance = 120 * 2.5 = 300 km. Time at 150 km/h = 300 / 150 = 2 hours.
Explanation:
Let total distance be 80 km. First part = 20 km; Time = 20 / 20 = 1 hour. Remaining part = 60 km; Time = 60 / 40 = 1.5 hours. Total distance = 80 km, Total time = 2.5 hours. Average speed = 80 / 2.5 = 32 km/h.
