Question 146

A Car covers 232 kms in 4 hours. The average speed of a bike is 50% more than the average speed of the car. How much distance will the bike cover in 6 hours?

Solution

Average speed = Total Distance ÷ Total Time

Average Speed of Car = 232 ÷ 4 = 58 km/hr

As the average speed of Bike is 50 % more than the average of Car

Average speed of Bike = (58 + $$\frac{50}{100}\times58$$) = 87 km/hr

Time given for Bike is 6 hour .

So with average speed of 87 km/hr the can run = (87 x 6 km) in 6 hours which is equal to 522 km.
