The question in the image is in Indonesian, and it can be translated as:

"A train departs from station A to station B at a constant speed. If the train moves 1.5 km/h faster than usual, it will arrive 1 hour earlier. If the train moves 1 km/h slower than usual, it will arrive 1 hour later. If the train moves at ¼ km/h faster than usual, how long will it take to travel from station A to station B? The time required is ... minutes."

To solve this, let's denote the variables:
- Let \( v \) be the usual speed of the train (in km/h).
- Let \( d \) be the distance between stations A and B (in km).
- Let \( t \) be the usual time taken by the train to cover this distance (in hours), so \( d = v \cdot t \).

### Step 1: Analyze the first condition
The first condition says that if the train moves 1.5 km/h faster, it will arrive 1 hour earlier. This can be written as:

\[
\frac{d}{v + 1.5} = t - 1
\]

### Step 2: Analyze the second condition
The second condition says that if the train moves 1 km/h slower, it will arrive 1 hour later. This can be written as:

\[
\frac{d}{v - 1} = t + 1
\]

### Step 3: Solve the system of equations
We now have two equations:
1. \( \frac{d}{v + 1.5} = t - 1 \)
2. \( \frac{d}{v - 1} = t + 1 \)

From the two equations, we can solve for \( v \) and \( t \). After obtaining \( v \) and \( t \), we can use the third condition, where the speed is \( v + 0.25 \) km/h, to find the time required to travel the distance. This is done as follows:

\[
t_{\text{new}} = \frac{d}{v + 0.25}
\]

Finally, convert the time into minutes by multiplying the result by 60.
