Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer:
6 h 21 min
Explanation:
Since the train runs at a speed of 100 km/h, the time taken to cover 600 km = 600/100 = 6 h.
Number of times the train halts = 600/75 – 1 = 7.
Since the train halts for 3 minutes at each stop, the time spent waiting = 7 * 3 = 21 min.
Therefore, total time taken = 6 h 21 min.
