(2) A goods train is going from Itarsi station to Bhopal station. At 12:00 PM it leaves Itarsi and after 15 minutes at an upward track, its engine and brakes fail and the train rolls backward for 5 km and stops on a plane track. The driver and the train guard inform the controller. A new engine takes 20 minutes to arrive there. The new engine pulls the train and helps it to cross the valley in next 20 minutes. The graph and table given below is based on this story but are left incomplete. Can you draw the remaining portion of the graph and fill in the table as well?

By that time the school is already over. The bus begins its return journey right away. In just one hour it drops the kids at the village. Depict this story on a graph.
