A train left Lahore at 9:32 a.m. and reached Peshawar at 5:23 p.m. How long did it take?

Answer: 7 hours and 51 minutes
Explanation

To find the duration of the train journey, subtract the start time from the arrival time:

Arrival time: 5:23 p.m.

Start time: 9:32 a.m.

Convert both times to a 24-hour clock:

Arrival time: 17:23 (5:23 p.m.)

Start time: 09:32 (9:32 a.m.)

Subtract the start time from the arrival time:

17:23 - 09:32 = 7 hours 51 minutes

Therefore, the train journey took 7 hours and 51 minutes.
