Answer:
Two quantities \[x\] and \[y\] which vary in direct proportion have the relation \[x=ky\] or \[\frac{x}{y}=k\] Here, \[k=\frac{\text{number}\,\text{of}\,\text{km}\,\,\text{it}\,\text{can}\,\text{travel}}{\text{time}\,\text{in}\,\text{hours}}\] \[=\frac{14}{\left( \frac{25}{60} \right)}=\frac{14\times 60}{25}\] \[=\frac{168}{5}\] Now, \[x\] is the distance travelled in 5 hours Using the relation \[x=ky,\] we obtain \[x=\frac{168}{5}\times 5\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=168\] Hence, it can travel 168 km.
