Pritesh sir want to go to Ayodhya for Ram Mandir inauguration from Delhi. He misses the direct train to Ayodhya which travels at a speed of 100 km/h and also passes through Kanpur. So, He take the Miata train which is from Delhi to Kanpur which is at 120 km, this train runs at a speed of 60 km/h and Riyat train from Kanpur to Ayodhya which is at 180 km, this train runs at a speed of 90 km/h. But, he has to wait for Riyat Train for 1 Hour on the platform. How much delay will be in reaching Ayodhya?

Pritesh sir want to go to Ayodhya for Ram Mandir inauguration from Delhi. He misses the direct train to Ayodhya which travels at a speed of 100 km/h and also passes through Kanpur. So, He take the Miata train which is from Delhi to Kanpur which is at 120 km, this train runs at a speed of 60 km/h and Riyat train from Kanpur to Ayodhya which is at 180 km, this train runs at a speed of 90 km/h. But, he has to wait for Riyat Train for 1 Hour on the platform. How much delay will be in reaching Ayodhya? Correct Answer 2 hour

Given:

Direct Train Speed = 100 km/h

Miata Train Speed = 60km/h

Riyat Train Speed = 90km/h

Distance between Delhi and Kanpur = 120 km

Distance between Kanpur and Ayodhya = 180 km

Formula used:

Time = Distance/Speed

Concept Used:

Difference between both the Time Taken helps in making this question easy. But waiting time should also be added.

Calculations:

Total Distance between Delhi and Ayodhya = Distance Between Delhi to Kanpur + Distance Between Kanpur to Ayodhya

Total Distance between Delhi and Ayodhya = 120 + 180 km = 300 km

Time Taken by Direct Train = Total Distance/Speed of the train

Time Taken by Direct Train = 300/100

Time Taken by Direct Train = 3 hour

Time Taken by Miata Train = Distance Between Delhi and Kanpur/Speed of Miata Train

Time Taken by Miata Train = 120/60 = 2 hour      ----(1)

Time of waiting on platform = 1 hour      ----(2)

Time Taken by Riyat Train = Distance Between Kanpur and Ayodhya/Speed of Riyat Train

Time Taken by Riyat Train = 180/90 = 2 hour      ----(3)

Adding 1, 2 and 3

 Actual Time Taken = 2 + 1 + 2

Actual Time Taken = 5 hour

Delay in reaching ayodhya equals to difference between Actual Time Taken and Direct Train

Time

Delay in reaching the ayodhya = 5 – 3 = 2 hour
