Question 34

The average speed of a bus is 8 times the average speed of a bike. The bike covers a distance of 186 km in 3 hours. How much distance will the bus cover in 10 hours ?

Solution

Let x be the speed of bike and y be the speed of bus.

y=8x

Also, bike covers 186 kilometers of distance in 3 hours

Therefore, x = 186/3 = 62km/hr

Now, y = 8x = 496km/hr

Distance covered by bus in 10 hours with this speed = 4960 km/hr
