Distance = Speed × Time = 120 × 5 = 600 km. Stoppage time doesn't affect the distance calculation at given speed.

As per the latest reorganization in 2023-2024, Indian Railways operates 18 railway zones after the addition of new zones.
To find total revenue, we need to calculate the total number of tickets sold and multiply by the cost per ticket.
Step 1: Find total tickets sold in the morning
\[
\text{Morning tickets} = 45
\]
Step 2: Find total tickets sold in the afternoon
\[
\text{Afternoon tickets} = 67
\]
Step 3: Calculate total tickets sold
\[
\text{Total tickets} = 45 + 67 = 112 \text{ tickets}
\]
Step 4: Calculate total revenue
Each ticket costs Rs. 200, so:
\[
\text{Total Revenue} = 112 \times 200 = \text{Rs. } 22,400
\]
Answer: The total revenue is Rs. 22,400 (Option A)

# Solution: What Does 'NTPC' Stand For?
This is a factual question about Indian Railway recruitment terminology. We need to identify the correct full form of the acronym 'NTPC' as used by Railway Recruitment Boards.
Step 1: Understand the Context
NTPC is a recruitment examination conducted by the Indian Railways through Regional Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs). It is one of the most common entry-level recruitment drives for non-gazetted railway positions.
Step 2: Analyze the Options
- (A) National Test for Personnel Classification — does not align with railway recruitment terminology
- (B) Non-Technical Popular Categories — matches the actual railway recruitment structure
- (C) National Technical and Professional Council — refers to a different organization (NTPC Limited, the power company)
- (D) Non-Technical Personnel Categories — similar wording but incorrect
Step 3: Confirm the Correct Acronym
The official full form used by Indian Railways is Non-Technical Popular Categories. This refers to recruitment for non-technical posts like Station Master, Traffic Assistant, Goods Guard, Commercial Apprentice, and similar positions that do not require specialized technical qualifications.
Step 4: Eliminate Confusion
Note: NTPC Limited (National Thermal Power Corporation) is a separate public sector undertaking in the energy sector. In railway context, NTPC exclusively means Non-Technical Popular Categories.
Answer: Non-Technical Popular Categories (Option B)
