    Question

    A motorist is traveling at 72 km/h and expects to

    complete his journey in 1.25 hours. After reaching halfway, he halts for 15 minutes. What should be his speed for the remaining part?
    A 100 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 120 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 110 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 115 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance = 72 × 1.25 = 90 km
    Time for half = (45 ÷ 72) × 60 = 37.5 minutes
    Time left = 75 – 37.5 – 15 = 22.5 minutes
    Required speed = (45 ÷ 22.5) × 60 = 120 km/h
