Question

A motor car starts with the speed of 70 km/hr with its speed increasing every two hours by  10 kmph. In how many  hours will it cover 345 kms.?


Options:
A .  `2 1/4` hrs
B .  4 hrs 5 min
C .  `4 1/2` hrs
D .  Cannot be determined
E .  None of these
Answer: Option C

Distance covered in first 2 hours = (70 x 2) km =  140 km.

Distance covered in  next 2 hours = (80 x 2) m =  160 km.

Remaining distance =  345 - (140 + 160) =  45 m.

Speed in the fifth hour = 90 km/hr.

Time taken to cover 45 km = ` (45/90)hr = 1/2 hr`

`:.`    Total time taken  =` (2 + 2 +1/2) `=  `4 1/2` hr.
