Let the distance travelled by the truck in 5 hours be x km.
We know, 1 hour = 60 minutes
∴ 5 hours = (5 × 60) minutes = 300 minutes
The given information in the form of a table is as follows.
| Distance travelled (in km) | 14 | x |
| Time (in min) | 25 | 300 |
The distance travelled by the truck and the time taken by the truck are directly proportional to each other. Therefore,
14/25 = xx/300
x = (14 x 300)/25 = 168
Hence, the distance travelled by the truck is 168 km.

distance travelled = `x` km
acc to question
`5hrs = 5*60 = 300`min
`14/25 = x/300`
`x = (300*14)/25`
`= 168`km
