    As per the given graph in question , we can see

    Time =
    5
    hours.
    2

    Distance = 120 km

    Speed =
    Distance
    Time

    Correct Option: B

    As per the given graph in question , we can see

    Time =
    5
    hours.
    2

    Distance = 120 km

    Speed =
    Distance
    Time

    ∴ Speed of scooterist =
    120
    × 2 = 48 kmph

    Given that , distance = 15 kilometres
    As we know that ,

    Time taken =
    Distance
    Speed

    Correct Option: D

    Given that , distance = 15 kilometres
    As we know that ,

    Time taken =
    Distance
    Speed

    Time taken =
    15
    = 2

    From the given graph in question ,
    Here , Speed = 6 kmph , Time = 4.5 hour ( given )
    We know that , Required distance = Speed × Time

    Correct Option: A

    From the given graph in question ,
    Here , Speed = 6 kmph , Time = 4.5 hour ( given )
    We know that , Required distance = Speed × Time
    Required distance = 6 × 4.5 = 27 km



  1. The speed of the car (in metres per minute) is

    According to given graph in question ,
    Speed = 6 kmph
    We convert kmph into metre per minute

    Correct Option: B

    According to given graph in question ,
    Speed = 6 kmph
    We convert kmph into metre per minute

    Speed =
    6 × 1000
    m/min. = = 100m/min.
