Data Interpretation (Level-1): Set-5

Directions : A train runs through cities A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. The line graph indicates the time schedule of the train including times of arrival and departure.

Question 1: The overall average speed of the entire trip excluding stoppage time is nearly
(a) 46 km/h
(b) 75 km/h
(c) 81 km/h
(d) 65 km/h

Question 2: What percentage of time of the entire trip was actually spent travelling between the cities?
(a) 76%
(b) 42.4%
(c) 7.6%
(d) 92%

Question 3: The total stoppage time at the cities in the first half and second half of the total distance is in the ratio
(a) 2 : 1
(b) 1 : 3
(c) 3 : 1
(d) 1 : 2

Question 4: Between how many pairs of consecutive stations does the train run below the overall average speed of the entire trip?
(a) 3
(b) 2
(c) 1
(d) 4

how do we calculate stoppage time
?

Nirbheek on August 28, 2016 at 8:41 pm
from point B i.e. first arrival (a) to next departure(d) is the stoppage time for every station.
the line parallel to x-axis
B(a) 8:40 hrs to next d i.e. 8:50 hrs the stoppage is 10 min
next stoppage time will be 10:10 to 10:12 i.e. 2 minutes
and similarly for other cities.

How did we calculate stoppage time?

kush agrawal on August 15, 2016 at 1:15 pm

in the last question, why is the waiting time not included while calculating average speed between two stations, as average speed is given by the formula TOTAL DISTANCE/TOTAL TIME which includes the general halt time while calculating avg speed in basic time speed distance questions? Please answer. 🙂

you start the time observation when the train starts, not when it is waiting on a platform. It’s assumed that way, as it’s common sense.

Hi @Wordpandit:disqus ,
Thanks for these sets of DI. Truly appreciate it 🙂

I have one problem. The fear of loosing time stops me from attempting calculative based options. For example the fourth qn in this set.
How do u suggest I tackle it?

Hey Himanshu, that is a bug. We have identified it and are fixing it. Images will be up soon.

rohan raghatate on June 2, 2016 at 9:08 am

only ten sets are available earlier there were more .plz give us more sets of DI

Wordpandit on June 3, 2016 at 9:16 am
Hey Rohan, we are re-doing most sections on Wordpandit. We are introducing everything level-wise (for better prep). We have already put up 25 odd sets and soon, all the sets will be back. In fact, you will see a greater number of sets now..:)

Can someone tell me how to calculate the stoppage time…. I’m missing something,,, so I’m not getting my answers right.

Anubhav rastogii on May 22, 2016 at 7:20 pm

HELLO
AS IN THIS QUESTION CHART IS NOT CLEARLY DEFINED PLZ SEE IT …

Wordpandit on May 22, 2016 at 7:33 pm
Hi Abhinav, sufficient data is provided to solve the problem. Refer to the solutions in case of a doubt..:)
Anubhav rastogii on May 23, 2016 at 11:22 pm
ITS ANUBHAV BRO …. I AM ASKING ABOUT THEGRAPH TIME IS NOT CLEARLY EXACTLY BELOW THE MARKS …ELSE QUESTION IS PERFECT AND SUFFICIENT DATA IS PROVIDED I AGREEE
Wordpandit on May 26, 2016 at 9:44 am
Ah, Anubhav. We can work on a better graphic for sure..:)
