Radha takes 4 h to travel from her village to her friends's city by bus. If she goes by car, whose speed is (2)/(3) times that of the bus, then how much time will she take to cover the same distance?

Answer»

3 h
8 h
12 h
6 h

Solution :Let the speed of bus be s kmph.
The speed of the car `= (2)/(3)` s kmph
Let the distance between the village and the city be d km.
`"Speed" XX "Time" = "Distance covered"`
For bus,
`d = s xx 4 ""(1)`
For car,
`d= (2s)/(3) xx t "" (2)`
`RARR " From Eqs (1) and (2),"`
` s xx 4 = (2s)/(3) xx t`
t = 6 h.
Hence, the correct option is (d).
