What is the total time taken in minutes by the train to go from Zut to Raz?
Answer & solution

28 hours, 40 minutes
22 hours, 40 minutes
- C
24 hours, 40 minutes
- D
20 hours, 40 minutes
- E
16 hours, 40 minutes
Consider the solution to first question of this set.
Journey time of train from Zut to Raz = 1 hour 45 mins + 8 hours 55 mins + 7 hours 50 mins + 3 hours 55 mins = 22 hours 25 mins.
Waiting time at stations Yag, Vaq and Sab = 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 mins.
Total travel time between Zut to Raz = 22 hours 25 mins + 15 mins = 22 hours 40 mins.
Hence, option (b).
