How do I solve the running time of a train between two terminals is 48 minutes, and there is a 7-minutes layover at each terminal. If a train leaves one terminal at 11:00 a.m. This train is due back at the same terminal at what time??

Given :

Running time between two terminals = 48 minutes

Time layover at terminal = 7 minutes

Now, according to question train leaves station at 11:00 a.m.

So, train reaches at the next terminal in 48 minutes = 11: 48 a.m.

Now, 7 minutes layover = 11:55 a.m.

Then again train will take 48 minutes to reach the starting terminal = 12:43 p.m.

Hence, This train is due back at the same terminal at 12:43 p.m.
