Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 32 minutes Given: A train takes 45 minutes to cover a certain distance at a speed of 80 km/h His speed is increased by 125 Then how long will it take the train to cover 8/5 of the same distance Formula used: \(velocity= distance/time\) Calculation: Distance = velocity × time Distance = 80 × 45 × 50/3 ⇒ 60000 meter Speed is increased by 125% ⇒ 80 + 80 × (125/100) ⇒ 180 km/hour The train to cover 8/5 of the same distance Distance = 60000 × (8/5) ⇒ 96000 So time is taken by train, Time = distance/speed ⇒ (96000/180) × (3/50) ⇒ 32 minutes Therefore, covered the distance by train in 32 minutes |
