Practicing Success
A man takes 50 minutes to cover a certain distance at a speed of 60 km/h . If the speed is increased by 25% , then how long will he take to cover \(\frac{27}{5}\) of the same distance ? |
2 h 3h 36 minutes 4 h 2 h 36 minutes |
3h 36 minutes |
Distance = Speed × Time Distance = 60 × \(\frac{50}{60}\) = 50 km \(\frac{27}{5}\) of distance = 50 × \(\frac{27}{5}\) = 27 × 10 Speed = 125% of 60 = 75 Time = \(\frac{27 \;× \;10}{75}\) = \(\frac{54}{15}\) = 3h 36 min. |
