RRB NTPC 2024 CBT 1 Question Paper (28-Aug-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is
18 hours

The problem requires calculating the time taken by Meghna to travel from Delhi to Kanpur, given her speed and Ishaan's speed and travel time over the same distance.

Distance Calculation Using Ishaan's Data

First, we find the total distance between Delhi and Kanpur using Ishaan's speed and time.

  • Ishaan's Speed ($v_I$): 90 km/hr
  • Ishaan's Time ($t_I$): 13 hours

The formula relating distance, speed, and time is: $ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} $ Applying this to Ishaan's journey: $ d = v_I \times t_I $ $ d = 90 \text{ km/hr} \times 13 \text{ hours} $ $ d = 1170 \text{ km} $ The distance from Delhi to Kanpur is 1170 km.

Meghna's Travel Time Calculation

Now, we use the calculated distance and Meghna's speed to find her travel time.

  • Distance ($d$): 1170 km
  • Meghna's Speed ($v_M$): 65 km/hr

The formula to find time is: $ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} $ Applying this to Meghna's journey: $ t_M = \frac{d}{v_M} $ $ t_M = \frac{1170 \text{ km}}{65 \text{ km/hr}} $ $ t_M = 18 \text{ hours} $ Therefore, Meghna takes 18 hours to reach Kanpur.
