A commercial truck handles a sector distance path of 480 km in 8 hours. How much time will it require to cover a path length of 300 km if it moves at the same speed?
A. 5.0 hours
B. 5.5 hours
C. 6.0 hours
D. 4.5 hours
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed of truck = 480 / 8 = 60 km/h. Time required for 300 km path = 300 / 60 = 5 hours.
A man covers 3/5 of his journey at 60 km/h, 1/4 of his journey at 40 km/h and the remaining journey at 20 km/h. Find his average speed for the whole transaction.
Explanation:
Let total distance be 400 km. First part = 240 km; Time = 240/60 = 4 hours. Second part = 100 km; Time = 100/40 = 2.5 hours. Remaining distance = 400 - 240 - 100 = 60 km; Time = 60/20 = 3 hours. Total time = 4 + 2.5 + 3 = 9.5 hours. Average speed = 400 / 9.5 = 4000 / 95 = 46.15 km/h.
