  • The time the last train leaves Town P

(b) arrival is 1505 h which is 3.05 p.m

(c) departure time from P is 0520 Arrival time at S is 0805 h Time taken = 0805 – 0520 = 2h 45 min

(d) Sala boards train A in town Q at 0555 h and arrives in town R at 0655 h. After work she boards train C at 1405 h and arrives in town S at 1505 h which is 3.05 p.m.
