Question

    Quantity 1: A cyclist travels 30 km in 1.5 hours. Find

    the covered distance. Quantity 2: If the cyclist increases his speed by 20% and travels for 2 hours, how far will he go?
    A Quantity 1 > Quantity 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Quantity 1 < Quantity 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Quantity 1 = Quantity 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Quantity 1 ≤ Quantity 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Quantity 1 ≥ Quantity 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed = Distance / Time = 30 km / 1.5 hours = 20 km/h. New speed = 20 km/h + 20% of 20 = 20 + 4 = 24 km/h. Distance in 2 hours = 24 km/h * 2 hours = 48 km. Thus, Quantity 1 < Quantity 2. Answer: b) Quantity 1 < Quantity 2
