Question

    A cyclist moves at a speed of 20 km/h and plans to

    complete his journey in 3 hours. After finishing half the journey, he takes a break of 30 minutes. At what speed must he travel the remaining distance to arrive on time?
    A 22 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 24 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 26 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 30 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance = 20 × 3 = 60 km
    Time to cover half distance = (30 ÷ 20) × 60 = 90 minutes
    Time remaining = 180 – 90 – 30 = 60 minutes
    Required speed = (30 ÷ 60) × 60 = 30 km/h
