Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 100 kmph Given: Required distance = 350 km, time 5 hours Covered distance = 2 / 7 of total in 2 hours Condition: given time = 4 hours 30 minutes Formula used: Speed = Distance / time 1 kmph = 5/18 m/s Calculation: Distance left = (1 – (2 / 7) × 350 ⇒ Distance left = (5 / 7) × 350 = 250 Km ⇒ Time left = 4 hours 30 minutes – 2 hour ⇒ 2 hours 30 minutes = 2.5 hr ⇒ Required speed = 250/2.5 = 100 kmph ∴ Boy needs to travel at speed of 100 kmph in order to reach the destination 30 minutes earlier |
