Time, Speed and Distance

Question:

A car covers a particular distance in 3 hours with the speed of 54km/h. If the speed is increased by 27km/h, the time taken by the car to cover the same distance will be:

Options:

2h

1h

$2\frac{1}{2}$h

$1\frac{1}{2}$h

Correct Answer:

2h

Explanation:

Total distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 54 × 3 = 162 km

Increased speed = 54 + 27 = 81 km/h

Time taken = \(\frac{162}{81}\)

= 2 hours
