A bicycle moves for 5 hours at the speed of 9 kmph and a car moves for 8 hours at the speed of 35 kmph. In what time train should cover total distance covered by car and bicycle if the speed of the train is 50 kmph?
A bicycle moves for 5 hours at the speed of 9 kmph and a car moves for 8 hours at the speed of 35 kmph. In what time train should cover total distance covered by car and bicycle if the speed of the train is 50 kmph? Correct Answer 6.5 hours
GIVEN :
A bicycle moves for 5 hours at the speed of 9 kmph and a car moves for 8 hours at the speed of 35 kmph.
The speed of the train is 50 kmph
FORMULA USED :
Distance = speed × time
CALCULATION :
Distance covered by bicycle = 5 × 9 = 45 km
Distance covered by car = 8 × 35 = 280 km
Then,
Total distance covered by bicycle and car = 45 + 280 = 325 km
Speed of train = 50 kmph
Time taken by train = 325/50 = 6.5 hours
