    Question

    A man decided to cover 7.5 km in 72 minutes. He decided to cover two thirds of the distance at 5 km/h and the remaining at some different speed. Find the speed after two third distance has been covered.

    A.

    14.3 Km/h

    B.

    15.5 Km/h

    C.

    12.5 Km/h

    D.

    10 Km/h

    Correct option is C

    Total distance = 7.5 km.
    Total time = 72 minutes = 72/60 = 1.2 hours.
    Distance to be covered at first part = (2/3) × 7.5 km = 5 km.
    Time to cover the first part of the distance at 5 km/h:
    Time = Distance / Speed =5 km / 5 km/h = 1 hour.
    Remaining distance = 7.5 km - 5 km = 2.5 km.
    Remaining time = Total time - Time_1 = 1.2 hours - 1 hour = 0.2 hours.
    Required Speed = 2.5 km / 0.2 hours = 12.5 km/h.
