SSC GD Const (English) - 22 Feb 2024 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q41

A person walks at a speed of 6 km/h and covers a certain distance in 4 hours. If the person increases the speed to 8 km / h how long will it take to cover the same distance?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 3 hours.

Distance = Speed × Time = 6 km/h ×  4 hours = 24 km

 the person increases their speed to 8 km/h, we can calculate the time it takes to cover the same 24 km distance using the new speed:

Time = DistanceSpeed=24 km8 km/h=3 hours\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{24 \, \text{km}}{8 \, \text{km/h}} = 3 \, \text{hours}
