A truck covers a distance of 368 km at a certain speed in 8 h. How much time would a car take at an average speed which is 18 km/h more than that of the speed of the truck to cover a distance which is 16 km more than that travelled by the truck ?

- 7 h
- 5 h
- 6 h
- 8 h
Correct Option: C
Speed of truck = Distance/time = 368/8 = 46 km/h
Now, speed of car = (speed of truck + 18) km/h = (46 + 18) = 64 km/h and
Distance travelled by car = 368 + 16 = 384 km
∴ Time taken by car = Distance/Speed = 384/64 h = 6 h
