Question

A train left Bangalore at 10:15 am on Monday and reaches Amritsar at 7:15 pm on Tuesday (next day). Find the duration of the journey.

• A. 33 hours
• B. 1 day 9 hours
• C. 30 hours
• D. 1 day 6 hours

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A 33 hours
B 1 day 9 hours

Time elapsed from Monday 10:15 am to Tuesday 10:15 am = 24 hours

Time elapsed from Tuesday 10:15 am to Tuesday 7:15 pm:
Time elapsed from 10:15 am to 12 noon = 1 hour and 45 mins,
from 12 noon to 7:15 pm = 7 hours and 15 mins.
$\therefore$ Total time elapsed = 1 hour and 45 mins + 7 hours and 15 mins
= 1 hour + 7 hours + (45 mins + 15 mins)
=1 hour + 7 hours + 60 minutes
=8 hours + 1 hour ($\because \text{1 hour}=60\text{minutes}$)
= 9 hours.


$\therefore$ Duration of the journey from Bangalore to Amritsar = (24 + 9) hours
= 33 hours
1 day = 24 hours
$\Rightarrow$ 33 hours = 24 hours + 9 hours
= 1 day 9 hours
