Question

The train covers 20 km in 15 minutes. How much distance will the car cover in 15 minutes if the speed of car is 60% of the speed of the train?

• A. 3hrs 45min
• B. 4hrs45min
• C. 5hrs45min
• D. 2hrs45min

Answer 1

The correct option is A

3hrs 45min

Given that the speed of the car is 60% of speed of the train.
Now, we know that the speed is directly proportional to the distance since the time taken remains constant.
$\frac{60}{100}=\frac{x}{20}$
$x=12\text{km}$
