   Total distance covered
   = Speed × Time
   = 40 × 9 = 360 km.
   The required time at 60 kmph
   

   =	360	= 6 hours.
   	60

   
   
   Second Method :
   Using Rule 9,
   Here, S₁ = 40, t₁ = 9
   S₂ = 60, t₂ = ?
   S₁t₁ = S₂t₂
   40 × 9 = 60 × t₂
   

   t2 =	4 × 9	= 6 hours.
   	6

   Correct Option: A

   Total distance covered
   = Speed × Time
   = 40 × 9 = 360 km.
   The required time at 60 kmph
   

   =	360	= 6 hours.

   Speed =	Distance	=	250
   	75		3

   
   

   =	10	m/sec =	10	×	18	km/hr.
   	3		3		5

   
   

   	∵   1 m/s =	18	km/hr
   		5

   
   = 2 × 6 km/hr. = 12 km/hr.

   Correct Option: B

   Speed =	Distance	=	250
   	75		3

   
   

   =	10	m/sec =	10	×	18	km/hr.

   Let the distance be x km.
   Total time = 5 hours 48 minutes
   

   = 5 +	48	=		5 +	4		hours
   	60				5

   
   

   =	29	hours
   	5

   
   

   ∴	x	+	x	=	29
   	25		4		5

   
   

   ⇒	4x + 25x	=	29
   	100		5

   
   ⇒  5 × 29x = 29 × 100
   

   ⇒  x =	29 × 100	= 20 km.
   	5 × 29

   
   
   Second Method :
   Here, x = 25, y = 4
   

   Average speed =	2xy
   	x + y

   
   

   =	2 × 25 × 4	=	200
   	25 + 4		29

   
   

   Total Distance =	200	× 5	4
   	29		5

   
   

   =	200	×	29	= 40 km
   	29		5

   Correct Option: C

   Let the distance be x km.
   Total time = 5 hours 48 minutes
   

   = 5 +	48	=		5 +	4		hours
   	60				5

   
   

   =	29	hours
   	5

   
   

   ∴	x	+	x	=	29
   	25		4		5

   
   

   ⇒	4x + 25x	=	29
   	100		5

   
   ⇒  5 × 29x = 29 × 100
   

   ⇒  x =	29 × 100	= 20 km.
   	5 × 29

   
   
   Second Method :
   Here, x = 25, y = 4
   

   Average speed =	2xy
   	x + y

   
   

   =	2 × 25 × 4	=	200
   	25 + 4		29

   
   

   Total Distance =	200	× 5	4
   	29		5

   
   

   =	200	×	29	= 40 km
   	29		5
