A car covers a certain distance in 7 hours with a uniform speed. The same distance could have been covered in 6 hours if the speed of the car was increased by 10 Km/h. What is the distance covered? |
360 Km 470 Km 420 Km 300 Km |
420 Km |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 420 Km Let the original speed of the car be x km/h. Distance covered in 7 hours: $\text{Distance} = 7x$ If the speed is increased by 10 km/h, new speed = $x + 10$. Same distance covered in 6 hours: $\text{Distance} = 6(x + 10)$ Since distances are equal: $7x = 6(x + 10)$ $7x = 6x + 60$ $x = 60 \text{ km/h}$ Now, distance: $7 \times 60 = 420 \text{ km}$ |
