Given:

The speed of a train including stoppages is 75 kmph.

The speed of a train excluding stoppages is 90 kmph

Formula used:

Speed = distance/time

Calculation:

Since,

The speed of a train is 90 km/hour excluding stoppages

And the speed of the train is 75 km/hour including stoppages.

So, due to stoppage in 1 hour it covers = (90 – 75) km = 15 km less

∴ Time taken by train in stoppage = 15/90 = 1/6 hour = 10 minutes

Option 1 is the correct answer.
