Solution

The correct option is A 610 km
Initial speed = 70 kmph
Time = 3 hours
Distance covered = Speed x Time = 70 x 3 = 210 km

Increased speed = 80 kmph
Remaining hours = 8 – 3 = 5 hours
Distance covered = Speed x Time = 80 x 5 = 400 km

Total distance covered = 210 + 400 = 610 km

Thus, Evan covers a distance of 610 km in 8 hours.
