Question

If a vehicle covers 1 unit for every 7 minutes, then find the time required for travelling $|\frac{-33}{21}|$ units.

• A. 11 minutes
• B. 14 minutes
• C. 22 minutes
• D. 21 minutes

Answer 1

The correct option is A 11 minutes

Here, the || refers to modulus or absolute value of a number.

Hence, we find the absolute value of the given location and then multiply the distance with the unit time given.

|$\frac{-33}{21}$| = $\frac{33}{21}$ units

Given:
Time taken for 1 unit = 7 minutes
So, time taken for $\frac{33}{21}$ units = $\frac{33}{21}$ $\times$ 7

= $\frac{33}{3}$

= 11 minutes
