Question

    A bus normally covers 120 metres in 4 seconds. How much

    distance (in km) can the bus cover in 5 hours if it travels at 75% of its normal speed?
    A 592 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 502 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 805 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 405 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Normal speed of the bus = 120/4 = 30 m/s

    75% of normal speed of the bus = 30 × 0.75 = 22.5 m/s = 22.5 × 3.6 = 81 km/h

    So, distance travelled in 5 hours = 81 × 5 = 405 km
