Question

A car covers a distance of 72 kms in 3 hours. The distance covered in 5 hours is ____ kms.

• A. $24$
• B. $120$
• C. $360$
• D. $216$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $120$

$\because$ Distance covered by the car in 3 hours $=72kms$,
$⟹\text{Distance covered by the car in 1 hour}=\frac{72}{3}=24kms$
Thus, the distance covered by the car in 5 hours $=5\times 24=120kms$
