      Solution

      ATQ,

      Total distance to be covered = 240 km Total time available = 4 hours Distance covered in the first 3 hours: β‡’ Distance = Speed Γ— Time β‡’ Distance = 70 km/h Γ— 3 hours β‡’ Distance = 210 km Remaining distance to be covered in the final hour: β‡’ Remaining distance = Total distance - Distance covered in the first 3 hours β‡’ Remaining distance = 240 km - 210 km β‡’ Remaining distance = 30 km Speed required to cover the remaining distance in the final hour: β‡’ Speed = Distance / Time β‡’ Speed = 30 km / 1 hour β‡’ Speed = 30 km/h ∴ The bus driver must travel at 30 km/h in the last hour.
