Solution

The correct option is A P=1009 m s1; Q=503 m s1
From the given table, we can calculate the total time and total distance, as follows:

The average speed of the body =Total distanceTotal time

P=80 km2 h=40 kmph

=40×518 m s1

=20018 m s1=1009 m s1

The speed of the body in the time interval 12:0012:30 h is:
Q=30 km30 min=1 km1 min=1000 m60 s

Q=100 m6 s=50 m3 s=503 m s1
