a truck covers a distance of 296 km at a certain speed in 8 hours . how much time would a car take at an average speed which is 18 kmph more than that of the speed of the truck to cover a distance which is 6.5 km more than that travelled by the truck ?
[ "6 hours", "5 hours", "5.5 hours", "8 hours" ]
C
explanation : speed of the truck = distance / time = 296 / 8 = 37 kmph now , speed of car = ( speed of truck + 18 ) kmph = ( 37 + 18 ) = 55 kmph distance travelled by car = 296 + 6.5 = 302.5 km time taken by car = distance / speed = 302.5 / 55 = 5.5 hours . answer – c
