Question 68

A man walks at 6 m/sec and reaches his destination in 20 minutes. A woman covers the same distance in 1.2 hours.Ā What is the speed of the woman (in km/h)?

Solution

A man walks at 6 m/sec and reaches his destination in 20 minutes.

Speed of man =Ā 6 m/sec

time taken to reach the destination =Ā 20 minutesĀ 

= $$20\times60$$Ā seconds [1 minute = 60 seconds]

=Ā 1200Ā seconds

Distance covered by the man =Ā $$speed\times\ time$$

=Ā $$6\times1200$$

Ā = 7200 m

A woman covers the same distance in 1.2 hours.

DistanceĀ =Ā 7200 m

=Ā 7.2 kmĀ [1km = 1000m]

Speed of the woman =Ā $$\frac{distance}{time}$$

= $$\frac{7.2}{1.2}$$

= 6 km/h
