Question

If the distance traveled by a rickshaw in one hour is 10 km, then the distance traveled by the same rickshaw with the same speed in one minute is

• A. $\frac{250}{9}m$
• B. $\frac{500}{9}m$
• C. $1000m$
• D. $\frac{500}{3}m$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$\frac{500}{3}m$

Step1: Given data

Distance traveled = $10km$

Time taken = $1hr$

Step2: Formula for distance

$d=\frac{v}{t}[whered=dis\tan ce,v=velocity,t=time]$

Step3: Calculating distance

$$\begin{gathered} 1hour=60minutes \\ 1km=1000meter \end{gathered}$$

In $60min$ minutes rickshaw travels=$10km=10\times 1000=10000meters$

$$\begin{gathered} d=\frac{v}{t} \\ d=\frac{10000}{60} \\ d=\frac{500}{3}m \end{gathered}$$

So in one minute it will travel $\frac{500}{3}m$

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
