Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 24 km/h Given: Dinesh is traveling on his bike. He will reach point P at 6 p.m. if he travels at 20 km/h. He will reach point P at 2 p.m. If he travelers at a speed of 30 km/h Concept used: Distance = Time × Speed Calculation: Let, when Dinesh reach point P at 4 p.m it took time t hours. ⇒ When Dinesh reach point P at 6 p.m it took time (t + 2) hours. ⇒ When Dinesh reach point P at 2 p.m it took time (t - 2) hours. As per the question, equating the distance get, ⇒ (t - 2) × 30 = (t + 2) × 20 ⇒ 3t - 6 = 2t + 4 ⇒ t = 10 Distance = (10 - 2) × 30 = 8 × 30 = 240 km. Now, 8 × 30 = 10 × speed ⇒ speed = 240/10 ∴ speed = 24km/hr |
