A train covers a distance of 325 km in 2(1/2) hours with a uniform speed. Find the time taken (in hours) to cover a distance of 650 kms at the same speed.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 5.
Given:
A train covers a distance of 325 km in 2(1/2) hours with a uniform speed
Formula used:
Speed = distance/time --- (1)
Calculations:
Using equation (1), we get
⇒ Speed = 325/(5/2) = 65 × 2 = 130 km/h
Required time taken to cover 650 km = 650/130 = 5 hours
