      Question

      A woman travels at 50 km/h and is expected to reach her

      destination in 2 hours. However, after covering half the distance, she takes a 20-minute break. What speed must she maintain for the remaining journey to arrive on time?
      A 50 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 72 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 60 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 48 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total distance = 50 × 2 = 100 km
      Time for half the journey = (100 ÷ 2) ÷ 50 × 60 = 60 minutes
      Time remaining = 120 – 60 – 20 = 40 minutes
      Required speed = (50 ÷ 40) × 60 = 75 km/h
