Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 74.
Given that
A part of a journey is covered in 37.5 minutes at 90 km/h,
The remaining part in 14 minutes at 80 km/h
Formula used
Distance = Speed × Time
Let x part of the journey be covered in 37.5 minutes
The distance(x) = 90 × 37.5/60 = 56.25 km
The remaining distance = 80 × 14/60 = 18.67 km
Hence, the total distance = 56.25 + 18.67 = 74.92 km i.e. 74 km
