Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 500% Given: Speed of Saurabh = 10 km/h Speed of Shivam = 2 km/h Concept used: Speed = Distance/time Distance = Speed × time Calculations: Time taken by Saurabh to cover the distance = Distance/speed ⇒ 50/10 = 5 The speed of Shivam = 2 km/h Distance travel by Shivam in one hour = 2 km Remaining distance = 50 – 2 = 48 km Remaining hours for Shivam to travels the remaining distance = 4 hours Speed needs to travel 48 km in 4 hours = 48/4 = 12 km/h Speed which Shivam should increase from second hour = 12 – 2 = 10 km/h ∴ Percent increase which is required in Shivam’s speed = (10/2) × 100 = 500% |
