Correct Answer: $2\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$


Solution : Speed of the train = 60 km/hr
Time = 210 minutes = $\frac{210}{60} = \frac{7}{2}$ hours
Distance covered = 60 × $\frac{7}{2}$ = 210 km
$\therefore$ Time taken at 80 km/hr $=\frac{210}{80} = \frac{21}{8} = 2\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$
Hence, the correct answer is $2\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$.
