A horse is running at a speed of 40 km/h and it covers its distance in 3 h. If it has to cover that distance in 2$$\frac{1}{2}$$​ h, at what speed should it run?

Correct option is A

Given:

A horse is running at a speed of 40 km/h and covers the distance in 3 hours.

Formula Used:
Distance = Speed$$\times$$​Time

Solution:
Distance = 40$$\times$$​ 3 = 120 km
Speed = Distance/Time = $$\frac{120}{2.5}$$​ = 48 km/h
Thus, the horse should run at a speed of 48 km/h to cover the distance in 2.5 hours.
