Question

    A person walks at 5 km/h and needs to reach home in 2

    hours. After walking half the distance, they rest for 20 minutes. What must be their speed for the remaining distance to be on time?
    A 6.5 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7.5 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 7 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance = 5 × 2 = 10 km
    Time for half journey = (5 ÷ 5) × 60 = 60 minutes
    Time remaining = 120 – 60 – 20 = 40 minutes
    Required speed = (5 ÷ 40) × 60 = 7.5 km/h
