Correct Answer: 5:30 PM


Solution : Given: Distance = 720 km
Speed = 20 m/s = $20\times\frac{18}{5}$ = $72$ km/hr
Starting time = 6:00 am
Stoppage = 1 hour 30 minutes or 1.5 hours
We know that,
Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
⇒ $72 = \frac{720}{\text{Time}}$
⇒ Time = 10 hours
Including stoppage = 10 + 1.5 hours = 11.5 hours
The train will arrive at 6:00 AM + 11.5 hours = 5:30 PM
Hence, the correct answer is 5:30 PM.
