Practicing Success
Ankur finishes a journey by car in 6 hours . He travels the first half of the journey at a speed of 30 km/h and the second half of it at a speed of 60 km/h . The total distance covered is : |
240 km 180 km 60 km 300 km |
240 km |
( 1st half ) ( 2nd half ) ratio of Speed 30 : 60 Speed 1 : 2 Distance = Speed × Time Speed is inversely proportional to Time ( 1st half ) ( 2nd half ) Time 2 : 1 ( 1 + 2 )R = 3R → 6 hours 1R → 2 hours Distance at the speed of 30 km/h = 30 × 4 = 120 km Total Distance = 120 × 2 = 240 km |
