A car covers a sector line of 420 km at a uniform speed. If its velocity index is raised by 10 km/h, it covers the course loop line in exactly 6 hours. Find the original speed. MCQ with Answer and Explanation
A car covers a sector line of 420 km at a uniform speed. If its velocity index is raised by 10 km/h, it covers the course loop line in exactly 6 hours. Find the original speed.
A. 60 km/h
B. 65 km/h
C. 55 km/h
D. 70 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
New speed = 420 / 6 = 70 km/h. Since new speed is original speed + 10 km/h, the original tracking speed = 70 - 10 = 60 km/h.
Explanation:
Time for first section = 120 / 40 = 3 hours. Time for second section = 160 / 80 = 2 hours. Total distance = 280 km, Total time = 5 hours. Average speed = 280 / 5 = 56 km/h.
