a) The correct time for the arrival of
the train is quarter to 7

= 634  hrs

But, the train is late by half an hour

So, expected time of the arrival of the train =
634 + 12

= 274 + 12

= 274 + 1 × 22 × 2
= 274 + 24

= 294

= 714

Thus, the expected time of the arrival of the train is quarter past
7

b) Expected time of the arrival of the train = 714 hrs

Nazia gets off at a station after 212 hrs of boarding the train

Time at which Nazia will get off = 714 + 212

= 294 + 52

= 294 + 5 × 22 × 2

= 294 + 104

= 29 + 104

= 394

= 934

Thus, Nazia will get off from the train at quarter to 10

c) Shaji will reach Ernakulam by this train after 5 hours

Expected time of the arrival of the train = 714 hrs

Expected time at which Shazi will reach Ernakulam =
714 + 5

= 294 + 51

= 294 + 5 × 41 × 4

= 294 + 204

= 29 + 204

= 494

= 1214

Thus, Shazi will reach Ernakulam at quarter past 12
