Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54 kmph and including stoppages, it is 45 kmph. For how many minutes does the bus stop per hour?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less.
| Time taken to cover 9 km = |  |
9 | x 60 |  min |
= 10 min. |
| 54 |

Consider the covers 54km & 45km in an hour without stoppage and with stoppage respectively. Since he covers 9 km less in stoppage.
His normal speed without stoppage is 54 km/h.
So, the time required to cover this distance is 9/54 hours i.e. 1/6 hour or 10 minutes.
So, he waited for 10 minutes in stoppage.
His normal speed without stoppage is 54 km/h.
So, the time required to cover this distance is 9/54 hours i.e. 1/6 hour or 10 minutes.
So, he waited for 10 minutes in stoppage.

Speed of bus ->54 km/ hr(without stopping the bus)
Speed of bus ->45 km/ hr( with stopping the bus)
Excluding - including stoppages.
(54km/hr - 45 km/ hr = 9km)
So, the distance is 9 km,
We have to find out the time,
T = D/S.
T= 9/54.
T= 1/6 hr.
( 1 hr -> 60 min).
T= 1/6 *60min.
T= 10 min.
Speed of bus ->45 km/ hr( with stopping the bus)
Excluding - including stoppages.
(54km/hr - 45 km/ hr = 9km)
So, the distance is 9 km,
We have to find out the time,
T = D/S.
T= 9/54.
T= 1/6 hr.
( 1 hr -> 60 min).
T= 1/6 *60min.
T= 10 min.

@Naren.
Because 54Kmph was the actual speed and 45Kmph was the speed after stoppage.
Because 54Kmph was the actual speed and 45Kmph was the speed after stoppage.

54kmh means it travels 54 kms in one hour when the train runs continuously in that hour. However including stoppages the train travels only 45 km in one hour. Thus in one hour train travels 9 km less due to stoppages.
Thus the time the train stops in an hour is the time it would have used to travel 9kms with the speed of 54kms, which when converted to minutes is equal to 10.

I can't understand why we have taken 54km/hr for calculation. Why not 45km/hr? Anyone, please clarify it.

Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less.
Time taken to cover 9 km = 9 x 60 min = 54.
Time taken to cover 9 km = 9 x 60 min = 54.

@All.
Here is my solution;
For me, in 1 hour the bus runs 54 km by the speed of 54km/h excluding stops.
But because of stop time, it runs by a speed 45km/h.
That means 54 km/ times = 45 ( km/h).
So the total times needed is 54/45 = 6/5 h,
And stop time is 6/5 -1 = 1/5h = 12 minutes.

Fast speed-slow speed/Fast Speed = 54-45/54 = 1/6.
To convert into minutes =1/6 * 60 = 10.
To convert into minutes =1/6 * 60 = 10.

S1 = 54kmph
S2 = 45kmph
T=?.
D = S2-S1=> 54 - 45 = 9km.
# Due to stoppages it travels 9km less than its usual distance,
Time = Distance/Speed.
= 9/54 (S2 speed is taken to calculate the stopping time)
=1/6hr.
# To convert hr to min "*" by 60=>(1/6)*60 = 10min.
Therefore it stops 10min every hour in stoppages
Time = speed/distance.
S2 = 45kmph
T=?.
D = S2-S1=> 54 - 45 = 9km.
# Due to stoppages it travels 9km less than its usual distance,
Time = Distance/Speed.
= 9/54 (S2 speed is taken to calculate the stopping time)

# To convert hr to min "*" by 60=>(1/6)*60 = 10min.
Therefore it stops 10min every hour in stoppages
Time = speed/distance.

If he travels for 10 km.
54 kmph means 54x10= 540.
45 kmph means 45x10= 450.
Difference of distance 540-450=90km,
Difference of speed 54-45=9.
.Distance=speed x time.
90 = 9xtime,
time = 10.
54 kmph means 54x10= 540.
45 kmph means 45x10= 450.
Difference of distance 540-450=90km,
Difference of speed 54-45=9.
.Distance=speed x time.
90 = 9xtime,
time = 10.
