Question 198

A man covered a distance of 180 kms. in 4 hours on a bike. How much distance will he cover on a bicycle in 8 hours if he rides the bicycle at one-sixth the speed of the bike ?

Solution

Distance d = 180 kms

Time t= 4 hours

Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 180 ÷ 4 =45 km/hr.

Speed of bicycle = $$\frac{1}{6}$$th the speed of bike.

= $$\frac{45}{6}$$

Distance covered in Bicycle in 8 hours = Speed of bycycle x Time

=$$\frac{45}{6}\times8$$

= 60 kms

Hence Option D is the correct answer.
