Question

The train is moving at a uniform speed of 80 kmph. How far will it go in 15 minutes?

• A. 10 km
• B. 15 km
• C. 20 km
• D. 13.33 km

Answer 1

The correct option is C

20 km

Let the distance travelled in 15 minutes be $x$.

In 60 min distance travelled is 80 km.
Using direct proportion we get

$\frac{60}{80}=\frac{15}{x}$

$x=20\text{km}$

$\therefore$ The train will travel 20 km in 15 minutes.
