An automobile travelling at an average speed of 75 km/h takes 5 hours to reach town B from town A. Calculate the distance between A and B.

Open in App

Solution

Given:
Average speed of automobile = 75 km/h
Time taken to complete the journey = 5 h
The speed of the body is calculated using the expression:

$Speed = \frac{Distance travelled}{Time taken}$

Distance travelled by automobile = speed $\times$ time taken
= 75 $\times$ 5
= 375 km

Therefore, the distance between A and B is 375 km.
