    If a train runs at 40 km/hour, it reaches its destination late by 11 minutes. But if it runs at 50 km/ hour. it is late by 5 minutes only. The correct time (in minutes) for the train to complete the journey is

    A)  13                               

    B)  15

    C)  19                   

    D)         21

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     If the distance be \[x\]km, then \[\frac{x}{40}-\frac{x}{50}=\frac{6}{60}\,\,\Rightarrow \frac{x}{4}-\frac{x}{5}=1\] \[\Rightarrow x=20\] km. \[\therefore \]Required time \[=\left( \frac{20}{40} \right)\] hour  11 minutes \[=\left( \frac{1}{2}\times 60-11 \right)\] minutes =19 minutes
