Question 74
A car starts running with the initial speed of 40 kmph, with its speed increasing every hour by 5 kmph. How many hours will it take to cover a distance of 385 km?
Solution
There is an Arithmetic Progression here,
40 + (40+5)+ (40+5+5) .....n terms = 385
So, sum of terms = 385
first term = 40 and common difference = 5
S = n/2[2a + (n-1)*d]
385 = n/2[80+5n-5)
770 = n[75+5n]
154 = n(15+n)
n = 7
So it takes 7 hours to cover a distance of 385 kms.
