SSC CGL - 19 July 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q66

On day one, with speed v, R covers a distance x, in t time. On the next day, he covers a distance 2.5x in 0.75t time. What is his speed the next day?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 103v\frac{10}{3}v.

Given that

On day one, with speed v, R covers a distance x, in t time

On the next day, he covers a distance 2.5x in 0.75t time

Formula used

Speed = Distance/time

Calculation

On day one, speed v = x/t

Now, on next day, speed = 2.5x/0.75t = 10x/3t = (10/3) × x/t = 103v\frac{10}{3}v
