    D 380 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Speed of the motorbike by which it travelled 180 km = 180/4 = 45 km/h Time taken to cover the remaining distance = 9 - 4 = 5 hours Decreased speed of the motorbike = 45 - 5 = 40 km/h Distance travelled with decreased speed = 40 × 5 = 200 km Therefore, required distance = 180 + 200 = 380 km
