Detailed Solution

Concept- By deducting the time the express departs from Mumbai Central from the time the train arrives in Ahmedabad, we can first determine how long it took the Shatabdi express to arrive at the station. The time it took the Gujarat Express to arrive at the station would then be determined by deducting the time it took the train to depart from Mumbai Central and arrive in Ahmedabad.
Shatabdi Express takes 6 hours and 20 minutes (Time between 6:25 am and 12:45pm)
The Gujarat Express takes 9 hours and 15 minutes (the time between 5:45 am and 3:00 pm)
Thus, the trains' respective times are 6 hours and 20 minutes and 9 hours and 15 minutes.
Now 6 hour 20 minutes =380 minutes(1 hour has 60 minutes.SO y hour has 360 minutes) +20 minutes
And 9 hour 15 minutes =555 minutes (9 hour has 540 minutes) +15 minutes
As we know,

And the difference is 555-380=175 minutes
Hence, the correct answer is option 4) 175
