      Question

      The average speed of a vehicle for a certain number of

      hours is 48 km/hr. If the vehicle travels 120 km in the next hour, the average increases by 2 km/hr. Find the total distance covered before this last hour.
      A 1680 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number of hours before the last one be 'P'.
      Distance before = 48P
      (48P + 120) / (P + 1) = 50
      => 48P + 120 = 50P + 50
      => 2P = 70 => P = 35
      Total distance = 48 × 35 = 1680 km
