Correct option is B
Given:
The bus covers 80 km in the first 2 hours.
The speed increases by 4 km/h every 2 hours.
We need to find the total distance covered by the bus in 10 hours.
Solution:
First 2 hours:
Speed = = 40 km/h
Distance covered = 80 km
Next 2 hours (from 2 to 4 hours):
Speed increases by 4 km/h: 40 + 4 = 44 km/h
Distance covered = 44 × 2 = 88 km
Next 2 hours (from 4 to 6 hours)
Speed increases by 4 km/h: 44 + 4 = 48 km/h
Distance covered = 48 × 2 = 96 km
Next 2 hours (from 6 to 8 hours)
Speed increases by 4 km/h: 48 + 4 = 52 km/h
Distance covered = 52 × 2 = 104 km
Last 2 hours (from 8 to 10 hours)
Speed increases by 4 km/h: 52 + 4 = 56 km/h
Distance covered = 56 × 2 = 112 km
Total Distance Covered:
80 + 88 + 96 + 104 + 112 = 480 km
