    Study the data given below.
    Duration (in hour) 6-8 6-8
    Distance covered (in km) ? 240
    If the average speed of the journey is \[80\,km\,{{h}^{-1}},\] what is the distance travelled during the first 8 hours?

    A)  640 km                                

    B)  240 km

    C)         400 km                

    D)         480 km

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\text{Average}\,\text{speed}\,\text{=}\,\frac{\text{Total}\,\text{Distnace}}{\text{Total}\,\text{Time}}\] Let the distance covered in first 6 h be\[x\,\text{km}\] Distance covered in next 2 hours = 240 km Total distance covered \[=(x+240)\,km\] \[\text{Average}\,\text{speed=}\frac{\text{Total}\,\text{distance}}{\text{Total}\,\text{time}}\] \[\therefore \]\[80=\frac{x+240}{8}\] or \[80\times 8=x+240\] or \[640=\text{ }x+240\] or\[x=640-240=400\text{ }km\].
