Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the time it takes for the train to travel from place A to place B without considering the time it stops on the way.

  1. The distance between A and B is 999 km.
  2. The speed of the train is 55.5 km/hr.
  3. Time = Distance/Speed = 999 km / 55.5 km/hr = 18 hours.

This means that without any stops, the train would take 18 hours to travel from A to B.

However, the train does stop for 1 hour and 20 minutes. We need to add this to the total travel time.

  1. Convert 1 hour 20 minutes to hours by dividing the minutes by 60. 20 minutes = 20/60 = 0.33 hours.
  2. So, the total stop time is 1 hour + 0.33 hours = 1.33 hours.

Add the travel time and stop time together:

  1. Total time = Travel time + Stop time = 18 hours + 1.33 hours = 19.33 hours.

The train leaves at 6 AM. To find the arrival time, add the total time to the departure time.

  1. Arrival time = Departure time + Total time = 6 AM + 19.33 hours = 1:20 AM the next day.

However, this option is not available in the choices given. Therefore, there seems to be a mistake in the problem or the options provided.
