Question : 19

Total: 40

A cyclist travelling at 20 km/h covered a distance in 35 minutes. What time will it take to cover the same distance travelling at 28 km/h?

16 minutes
48 minutes
25 minutes
49 minutes

Solution:

Concept:

Distance is constant, so time is found by dividing distance by new speed.

Explanation:

Distance covered at 20 km/h in 35 minutes:

35

minutes

= \frac{35}{60} = \frac{7}{12}

hours.

Distance

= 20 \times \frac{7}{12} = \frac{35}{3}

km.

Time at 28 km/h:

t = \frac{\frac{35}{3}}{28} = \frac{35}{84} = \frac{5}{12}

hours.

\frac{5}{12} \times 60 = 25

minutes.

Answer:

25 minutes
