The average speed of a train is 87kmph. The train was scheduled to start at 9am in Bangalore, and as per schedule it has to reach a destination of 348km away from Bangalore at 1:45pm same day and a halt was scheduled onthe way. For how long was the halt scheduled?	Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 45 minutes	B) 50 minutes	C) 55 minutes	D) 60 minutes	E) none of these

Rationale: speed of train = 87 kmph and distance it covers is 348 km . time taken to cover the distance = distance / speed = 348 / 87 = 4 hours . but total time taken by train to reach destination is = 1 : 45 pm – 9 a . m = 4 hours 45 minutes . time of halt = total time – take taken without halt = 4 hours 45 minutes – 4 hours = 45 minutes a )
Answer: A
