Walking at the rate of 3 km/h a man covers a certain distance in 8 hours. If the man runs at a speed of 16 km/h, then how much time will he take to cover the same distance?

Correct option is C

=

Given:

Walking speed of man = 3 km/h
Time taken at walking speed = 8 hours
Running speed of man = 16 km/h

Formula Used:

Distance (D) = Speed × Time

Solution:

Calculate the distance covered when walking:
D = $$3 \times 8 = 24 km$$​​

Now, use the running speed to find the time required to cover the same distance:
Time} = $$\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$$​​

Time = $$\frac{24}{16} = 1.5 \text{ hours}$$​​

The man will take 1.5 hours to cover the same distance at a speed of 16 km/h.
