SSC GD Constable (English) - 13 Jan 2023 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q50

The distance ‘d’ a moving body travels, varies directly with time ‘t’. When a train travels 120 miles in 3 h, then how many miles would it travel in 8 h?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 320.

Given:

Distance = 120 miles

Time = 3 h

Formula Used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Explanation:

We know that,

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 120/3 = 40 miles/hour

Now,

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 40 × 8 = 320 miles

So, it travels 320 miles in 8 hours
