Mrs. Grumper grumbles about bad time-keeping trains like everybody else. On one particular morning he was justified, though.The trian left on time for one hour journey and it arrive 5 minutes late. However Mrs. Grumper's watch showed it to be 3 minutes early, so he adjusted her watch by putting it foward 3 minutes. Her watch kept time during the day,and on the return journey in the evening the train started on time, according to her watch, and arrived on time, according to the station clock. If the train traveled 25 percent faster on the return journey than it did on the morning journey, was the satation clock fast or slow, and by how much?

explain your answer!

the station clock is 3 minutes fast. the morning journey took 65 minutes,
and the evening journey therefore took 52 minutes, and the train arrived 57 minutes after it should have left, that is, 3 minutes early.
correct ba?
