Practicing Success
If a person travels at a speed of 48 km/h, he will reach his destination on time. He covers two-thirds of his journey in five-sixths of time. At what speed (in km/h) should he travel to cover the remaining distance to reach his destination on time? |
100 96 50 48 |
96 |
Let Time = 6t Speed = 48 km/h Distance = Speed × Time = 48 × 6t = 288t According to question , \(\frac{1}{3}\)rd of 288t = 96t \(\frac{1}{6}\)th of 6t = t Speed to cover remaining 96t distance = \(\frac{96t}{t}\) = 96 km/h |
