For 1hr ---> 54km.
For how much time with 45km/hr it takes to travel 54km is the total time taken by the bus to travel with stops.
So t=(54/45)*60=72min;.
Its the total time taken subtracting an hour travelled common and we get 12 min.
then how come 10 min be the answer?

Travelling difference = 9 km/hr.
Travels 54 km taking 60 mins.
Hence, travels 9 km taking 10 mins.
So, the answer is 10 mins.
Travels 54 km taking 60 mins.
Hence, travels 9 km taking 10 mins.
So, the answer is 10 mins.

We have taken 54 because if we take 45, this is the speed of bus with the stoppage, it has already taken the stop that's why 54 is taken.

54km ------------- 60min
45km ------------- ?????.
45/54*60min = 50min.
60min - 50min = 10min.
45km ------------- ?????.
45/54*60min = 50min.
60min - 50min = 10min.

Hey guys, for this we can simply use the proportion method;
60min : 54km :: x min : 9km (product of extremes = product of means)
60*9=54x.
x=(60*9)/54 (9 and 54 will be cancelled by 9 tables)
x=60/6 (60 and 6 will be cancelled by 6 tables)
x=10min.
Therefore, the time taken by train is 10 min.
60min : 54km :: x min : 9km (product of extremes = product of means)
60*9=54x.
x=(60*9)/54 (9 and 54 will be cancelled by 9 tables)
x=60/6 (60 and 6 will be cancelled by 6 tables)
x=10min.
Therefore, the time taken by train is 10 min.

2 speeds difference is 9 km,
So we should calculate the time taken to cover 9 km.
So, 9/54*60 =?
Then the answer is 10 minutes.
