Question

An airplane travels a specific distance at a speed of 240 km/h over the course of 5 hours. To cover the same distance in just 1 hour. it needs to fly at a speed of:

• A. 1200 km/hr
• B. 1500 km/hr
• C. 1400 km/hr
• D. 1600 km/hr

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1200 km/hr

First find the total distance:

Speed = 240 km/h
Time = 5 hours

$\text{Distance} = 240 \times 5 = 1200 \text{ km}$

Now, to cover the same distance in 1 hour:

$\text{Required speed} = \frac{1200}{1} = 1200 \text{ km/h}$

Final Answer

$\boxed{1200 \text{ km/h}}$
