Q428
The distance between the places H and O is D units. The average speed that gets a person from H to O in a stipulated time is S units. He takes 20 minutes more time than usual if he travels at 60 km/h, and reaches 44 minutes early if he travels at 75 km/h. The sum of the numerical values of D and S is:
A.
358
B.
384
AnswerC.
376
D.
344
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let right time for the train to cover its journey (in minutes) be hours, thenAs we know,
Distance = Speed × Time
According to the question,
Distance between H and O is 320 km
Average speed (S) = = 64 km/hr
∴ Sum of numerical value of D and S = 320 + 64 = 384
