Practicing Success
A man rides at the speed of 15 km/hr, but stops for 5 min to change horse at the end of every 8 km. Find the time taken by him to cover the distance of 90 km. |
6 hours 6 hours 30 minutes 6 hours 55 minutes 5 hours 30 minutes |
6 hours 55 minutes |
Speed = 15km/hr Distance = 90km Minimum time without stoppage = \(\frac{90}{15}\) = 6hrs. If he stops for 5 mins. after every 8 km , then to cover 90km , he will stop for at least 11 times. So, total stoppage time = 11 × 5 = 55 min Total time taken to cover 90 km = 6 hours + 55 minutes = 6 hours 55 minutes |
