  1. A journey takes 4 hours 30 minutes at a speed of 60 km/hr. If the speed is 15 m/s, then the
    journey will take
    1. 5 hours
    2. 5 hours 30 minutes
    3. 6 hours
    4. 6 hours 15 minutes
Correct Option: A

60 kmph =
60 × 5
m/sec
18

=
50
m/sec.
3

∴  Speed ∝
1
Time

⇒  S1 × T1 = S2 × T2
⇒ 
50
×
9
= 15 × T2
32

⇒  T2 =
75
= 5 hours
15


Second Method :
Here, S1 = 60, t1 = 4
1
=
9
22

S2 = 15 ×
18
= 54
5

S1t1 = S2t2
60 ×
9
= 54 × t2
2

t2 =
270
= 5 hours
54
