Solution
(i) Speed of train in 60 minutes = 120 km
i.e. distance covered in 60 minutes =`120/60`
Distance covered in 36 minutes =`(120xx36)/60`
= 2 × 36
= 72 km
(ii) If distance covered is 120 km then the time is taken = 60 minutes
If distance covered is 1 km then the time is taken =`60/120`
If the distance covered is 210 km then the time is taken =`60/120xx210` = 105 minutes
= 1 hours 45 minutes
