      Question

      A car travels 225 km in 5 hours at its normal speed. If

      it covers 90 km at this regular speed and then travels another 135 km at a speed that is 20% faster than usual, how much time does it take for the car to cover both distances?
      A 4 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 4 hours 30 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5 hours 30 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Actual speed of car = 225/5 = 45 km/hr Increased speed = 1.2 × 45 = 54 km/hr Time taken by car to cover the distances = (90/45) + (135/54) = 4 hours 30 minutes
