Question

A man travels 80 km in three hours. He further travels for two more hours. Find the distance travelled in the latter two hours, if his average speed for the entire journey is 30 km/h.

A.

70 km

B.

150 km

C.

120 km

D.

90 km

Correct option is A

Given:
Distance traveled in the first 3 hours = 80 km
Additional time traveled = 2 hours
Average speed for the entire journey = 30 km/h
Formula Used:
Average Speed=Total DistanceTotal Time\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}​​
Distance in the latter two hours = Total Distance - Distance in the first 3 hours
Solution:
Total Time = 3 + 2 = 5 hours
Total Distance = Average Speed × Total Time = 30 × 5 = 150 km
Distance in the latter two hours = 150 − 80 = 70 km
Thus, The distance traveled in the latter two hours is 70 km.
