Question

A Bike covers the distance 8993 km in 17 hours . Find the distance covered in 23 hours

• A. 12167 km
• B. 11321 km
• C. 12456 km
• D. 7856 km

Answer 1

The correct option is A

12167 km

Let the required distance be $x$ km

Ratio of distances = Ratio of the time taken

$\Rightarrow$ 8993 : $x$: : 17 : 23

Product of means = product of extremes

$\Rightarrow$ $x\times 17=8993\times 23$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{8993\times 23}{17}$

$\Rightarrow$ x = 12167 km
