A car takes 4 hours to cover a distance if it travels at a speed of 60 km/h. What should be its speed (in km/h) to cover the same distance in 1.5 hours?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 160.
Given:
A car takes 4 hours to cover a distance if it travels at a speed of 60 km/h
Formula used:
Speed = distance/time ---- (1)
Calculations:
Distance covered in 4 hours at 60 km/h = 60 × 4 = 240 km
Speed when time taken is 1.5 hours = 240/1.5 = 160 km/h
