The ratio of speeds of a train and a car is 16 : 15 , respectively and a bus covered a distance of 480 km in 8h. The speed of the bus is 3/4th of the speed of train. What will be covered by car in 6 h?
Correct Answer: 450 km/h
Explanation:
Let speed of train = 16k
Speed of car = 15k
Speed of bus = 480/8 = 60 km/h
According to the question,
16k = 60 x 4/3 = 80
⇒ k = 5
∴ Speed of car = 15k = 15 x 5 = 75 km/h
∴ Required distance = Speed x Time
= 75 x 6 = 450 km
