Formula used

Distance = Speed × time

Calculation

Time required by Ram to cover 84 km distance with a rate 36km/hr = 84/36

= 7/3 or 2(1/3) =  2 hr 20 min (140 minutes)

Also, if the vehicle stops for 5 min. at the end of every 10 km then, the vehicle has to stop a total 8

time for 5 min.

= 1/10 × 80 = 8 times (the last 4 km will be covered at one go)

Total stopping time = 8 × 5 = 40 min(s)

Total time required = 140 + 40 = 180 minutes.

The answer is 180 minutes.
