Question

A car can cover 275 km in 5 hours. If its speed is reduced by 5 km/h, then how much time will the car take to cover a distance of 300 km?

• A. 5 hr 30 min
• B. 6 hr
• C. 5 hr
• D. 4 r 30 min

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 6 hr

First find the original speed:

Speed = Distance / Time = 275 ÷ 5 = 55 km/h

Reduced speed = 55 − 5 = 50 km/h

Now find time to cover 300 km:

Time = Distance / Speed = 300 ÷ 50 = 6 hours

Final Answer: 6 hours
