Question

    A car which is traveling at a speed of 50 km/hr

    increased its speed by 10 km/hr after ‘y’ hours and after that, it traveled for (y + 7) hours more. If the distance covered by the car in the last (y + 7) hours is 680 km, then find the distance covered by it in the first ‘y’ hours.
    A 220 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 200 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 270 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 250 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, (50 + 10) × (y + 7) = 680 Or, 60 × (y + 7) = 680 Or, y + 7 = 11 Or, y = 4 Therefore, required distance traveled = 50 × 4 = 200 km
