    respectively. If the time taken by the car to cover a distance of ‘8x’ km is 1 hour less than time taken by the bus to cover a distance of ‘5x’ km, then find the value of ‘8x’
    A 330 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 334 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 336 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 338 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to the question, (5x/14) – (8x/24) = 1 Or, (5x × 12 – 8x × 7) ÷ 168 = 1 Or, (60x – 56x) ÷ 168 = 1 So, x = 42 Required value = 8 × 42 = 336
