Question:

Tanu is walking at a speed of 10 km/h. After every kilometer she takes a rest for 10 minutes. The time taken to cover a distance of 5 km by Tanu is:

Options:

1 h 20 minutes

1 h 5 minutes

1 h 10 minutes

1 h 12 minutes

Correct Answer:

1 h 10 minutes

Explanation:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time taken without any stoppage = \(\frac{ 5 }{ 10 }\) = 30 min

To cover 5 km , number of stoppage = 4

Time of rest = 4 × 10 = 40 min

Total time taken = 30 + 40 = 70 min

= 1 hour 10 min

The correct answer is Option (3) → 1 h 10 minutes
