Excluding the stoppages, it is 54kmph. Here the question is about the time taken at every stop, which should be calculated using the speed taken when including the stops, that is 45 kmph. Why is it taken as 54?
Please explain me.

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

v1 = 54km/hr.
v2 = 45km/hr.
Relative speed = v2 - v1 = 9km/hr.
x min = 9km/hr.
60min = 54 km/hr.
x = (9 * 60)/54 = 10min.
v2 = 45km/hr.
Relative speed = v2 - v1 = 9km/hr.
x min = 9km/hr.
60min = 54 km/hr.
x = (9 * 60)/54 = 10min.

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.

Why have we taken the speed of the train without stoppages (that is 54kmph) for calculating the time taken by the bus to cover 9 km?
Anyone, please clarify.

12 km is the right answer.

@Shravani.
Here is my explanation for your doubt.
It doesn't represent the actual speed, it includes the stoppages to cover less speed. Using 45kmph does not give us the correct answer that's why we use actual speed to find the time taken.
