Answer
(i) Let x km be distance travel in 36 minutes.
| Distance | Time (in minutes) |
|---|---|
| 120 | 60 (∵ 1 hour = 60 mins) |
| x | 36 |
Since it is a case of direct variation,
Hence, the train will travel a distance of 72 km in 36 minutes.
(ii) Let the train take y minutes to cover 210 km.
| Distance | Time (in minutes) |
|---|---|
| 120 | 60 |
| 210 | y |
Since it is a case of direct variation,
105 minutes = 60 minutes + 45 minutes
= 1 hours 45 minutes
Hence, the train will take 1 hours 45 minutes to cover 210 km.
